Only issue is, I don't have a plain white shirt which fits. Would you think a light blue shirt will do?

They did that with mine but they then said there were lots of errors with their system and they wanted my passport to complete the checks in another store.

Congrats on your job offer! When do you start?

They said will call me obce interviewed everyone but most likely on 27th.

Anyone knows what sort of uniform is on f&f? Can I wear any shoes with that of have to be black ones?

Got an interview for a job this Monday. It's a customer assistant and hours are 9:30-6:30 every Saturday, as well as being walking distance from me. The thing that could hold me back is my availability.. with exams in a month it's possible I'd look to take a Saturday off to revise. After that from late June to mid July I'm away for ~3 weeks holidaying. Is this something that I should a) bring up at interview and/or b) if I do get the job, and how lenient will they be at a possible 4 Saturdays I'll have to miss within weeks of starting the job.

Hey I applied for Customer Assistant and the closing date is in 5 days (15/05). Does anybody know roughly how long after the closing date they will reply, if they do? Thanks!

..well I can't do anything about my holidays, so it is not possible I could make up the hours when I come back or before I go? If not then what else could they do other than fire/sanction me weeks into the job. With the exams then maybe I will just have to manage my revision, and not look for time off.

I applied for a Customer Assistants Job ( Nightshift) and had a group interview/exercise 2 weeks back.

How long does it normally take for them to get back to you u? And do they get back to you or just leave your online status as in process!

As this is a new store that's only been open 4 months he did say it could take anything from 2-4 weeks for a reply.

I had a group interview with Tesco about four week ago and they told me they will let me know the outcome in two weeks time? But I haven't heard them ever since. Do they really reply back or is it just a way to let me know that I didn't get the job.
still says in process online .I am ,been waiting four weeks today. :confused:

Right got an interview with Tesco Thursday after only applying on Sunday, I've already worked at a supermarket before that being Sainsburys and I was wondering what the interview process is like, seeing as it will last an hour.

I had an interview for personal shopper last week and the interviewer said I had her recommendation and just needed to wait on my NI forms to get back to her. Its been 6 days and i've not heard back, my sister says I should call and ask for any info but I'm not sure. Any advice or info I could get from anyone?
