Debenhams Job (part times sales adviser

Hi, i have an interview in two days and i was wondering if you could give me an insight into how the group interview was? what sort of questions did they ask you x and any news on whether they've contacted you yet, hope they did!!

Hi there, I currently work at the debenhams as a sales advisor. what I suggest you do is actually ring up the store manager of the store you applied for, there's a good chance they had a large amount of applications for that job and only reply to a select few.

Okay so was the job you applied for a Christmas temp or a permanent position?

Shortly after I started in April I was told by the lady who hired me does actually contact those who have already applied and passed the interviews when ever there is a new job available because they know the candidate is already interested in the position and they would rather contact those on file rather than post a new job online.

Are you sure you can't do more hours than 8-12? Because when you ring up you could ask if there is other positions available with more hours. When you ring up, ring in the morning if you can and ask for the store manager, ask about other possible positions with different hours or Christmas temp positions.

Okay, maybe you would be better off asking for a 12-16 hour position, so two 8 hour shifts. Maybe asking for a early start on Saturdays maybe 9am-4pm? and Sundays (Sunday hours are 11am-6:30pm) so not a late finish. Being flexible around Christmas is a bonus as hardly anyone will want to work those shifts. And depending of which store you applied for, no doubt they'll be posting more jobs online (possibly more Christmas temps or permanent jobs) There always seems to be jobs available at the store I work at. And if you don't end up with a job with debenhams, try applying for one of the concessions within store, they always need multiple people working for them.

If I were you, I would properly hope to receive a call. Maybe keep an eye out on the debenhams job website for any new job openings and apply for them, you'll be in with a better chance of getting a job if you apply for another position because they'll already have you on file. Yeah they'll be loads of jobs available soon, they've only just started with Christmas temp jobs. I'd especially keep an eye out for jobs maybe just after Christmas as temps leave, they'll be looking for permanent staff. And as for the 10 people who did the interview with you, I reckon only about 2 got offered a job.

Which store was it that you applied for?

Have you tried applying for other places such as Primark, Argos, Next and M&S? They're apparently really good for weekend jobs and are flexible when it comes to people still in education. A girl I work with said that M&S is really good and you can even do apprenticeships with them and they pay really well.

Heya, the interview is a breeze. My interview was basically Introduce you in the beginning with 3 interested facts about yourself. Then we had some questions on the history of Debenhams (I didn't really prepare so I kinda just made stuff up 😂) then we began talking about customer service, they ask u about your experiences (this is vital because they tally you to see who speaks up so make sure you do) and then we do a group task which consists of Debenhams competitiors (make sure you know; it's Marks and Spencer's, John Lewis and House Of Fraser) we then got to go out on the shop floor with clipboards and then basically we were told to look around and see any good things about the store and things that need to improve. We then came back in the room discussed it and then we were in groups when we talked about a brand and who would buy it ect. Make sure you don't get out off any ages cause there may be some old people but don't get out off cause everyone is lovely. And then that was it tbh; we were then taken to individual interview which was 2 mins literally just talking about hours and legal questions (make sure u take a passport) and boom it's done. I sadly did get a reply saying I did really well in the interview but there were no more vacancies of that specific hours which I'm bummed out cause I did work hard and it's quite a *****y feeling tbh. They did say they are keeping my details on a file because I passed the assessment and if any vacancies pop up I will be contacted but I doubt they would even bother 😞😔 anyways the interview was good interview just dress smart be early and be confident. Hope I helped xx

Debenhams uniform is just a black top and either black work pants or a skirt, only oxford street have the official uniform.

Congratulations are you buying your own uniform or getting a uniform from work?
