    Just go smart but not over the top. I would wear a shirt and pants so smart but not a full suit smart.

    I had one today and wore a skirt with a pussybow blouse and a cardigan which I took off when I was there. I got the job pretty much straight away

    I had mine earlier today and its really simple and relaxed, all they asked me was "tell me about yourself" and then asked me a few scenario questions what just require common sense really, i pretty much got the job straight away because she said i got 100% on the online questionnaire. Ive got my induction next Thursday and all i wore to the interview was smart trousers, shirt and tie. Its nothing to worry about you will be fine

    I wasn't told about the letter, was told I'd get a call either way. It's annoying because she said I did answer the questions well but the only problem is that I am not able to work a few days during the busy sale period [She did not say that was a problem, I'm saying it is] so think that's where I am being disadvantaged. I should just call to make sure though right?

    They should ring I don't see why not. When I called I was told the woman had rang everyone and left messages for those who were uncontactable...however I did not get a message or a phone call...They should call though but if not just call them to see

    No I didn't get a call I'm going to wait a little and ring in the afternoon But the number charges extra doesn't it ??
    Yeh it is one of those extra charging numbers but could be worth it if you have the job. All the best and I hope you get it
