    Morrison's Part Time Job Interview
    Hi, just got a phone call today saying I have an interview this Wednesday for a part time job at Morrisons.

    I'm not really nervous as such, but would really like to get the job and would like any tips people have on securing the position? Preferably from people who have been or are already employed by Morrisons cause they probably use standard techniques in interviewing potential employee's

    Also, they said the part time contracts are for 10 hours, but i'm wondering if it would be possible to get more hours if asked, or if they are likely to ask me to do more in the future?

    Thanks for reading

    Here's some general questions they might ask:

    Why do you want to work here?
    What are your strengths and weaknesses?
    What can you offer the company?
    Are you flexible about where and when you can work?

    I've heard from some people, though, that when you get asked in for an interview all they really ask is a couple of things about your application like interests or what not, or get you to fill out a health and safety form.

    I'm sure you'll get it. If you want extra hours you can just ask, what's the worst that could happen really?

    Good luck.

    Thank for the advice.

    I've heard too that you pretty much have the job you just need to confirm things etc. And obviously they need to make sure you are actually legit and not some kind of oddball I guess haha.

    Any suggestions on what I should wear? I'm thinking shirt with jumper over it and shoes and trousers.

    For some reason I feel a bit nervous at the moment although I know it's not going to be that bad! I feel fine when I'm there, it's just the waiting
