Anybody got HR email address or phone number?
My store are messing me about and generally just being awful
I've passed my Asda Magic and was invited for an interview on Friday. It went OK though I did stutter with some of the answers.

Can anyone tell me from past experience when they'll get back to me?

got sent 20 miles away to train while new store opens struggling with fares u reckon they would help me out? as have another 3 weeks of this and skinto!!!
Hey, I work at Asda every Saturday for about 7 hours per week. I need a Saturday off in 3 weeks time but don't really know anyone I can swap a shift with since I'm fairly new. Does anyone know if they have a notice board or something where you can advertise for a swap or possibly just give you that day off? It's for personal reasons, I literally have booked travel already so can't cancel whatsoever.

Surely for one day you could ask for a holiday?

If you're in your 12 week probation thing, you should have about 15 hours to use for holiday. Just put it in as a holiday if you can't get a swap. :smile: And if you need to advertise a swap, then put it in the rota book - that being said, I don't know if any other departments have them? (I work on Front End) Hopefully it gets sorted for you :smile:

you should put your grivences in writing to whoever is messing you round i.e Section Leader > Manager > Trading Manger > People Manger / Store Manger > Regional Management,

ask personnel for a copy of the discipline and grievances book, also if you still need address DM me I might be able to help
My application still says 'Under review' and it's been just over a month. Is this normal? Also if I’m unsuccessful how will they let me know? Thanks

Hey. I successfully passed the group interview stage and had my 1to1 interview 3 weeks ago. The lady told me that if I was successful I'd hear by telephone and if unsuccessful I'd hear by letter. I haven't received either. Does anyone have any advice about what to do ?

Nope, it's for an existing store. It's been just over 3 weeks now so I'd kinda resigned to myself that I hadn't gotten it but I haven't actually got the rejection letter and when I logged into the asda website it still says 'application in progress'. So blah, don't really now what to do. I have had multiple interviews for debehnams and mcdonalds so there is a possibility of them offering me something very soon so I would like to have all my cards on the table before I make a possible choice between them all. Do you think I should call up the store and ask ? I should have asked the woman how long it would take for them to get back to me at the 2nd interview >.<
