The Working At Asda Thread

I've been working at Asda for 12 weeks now and I still haven't received my discount card and I don't even have a locker. Should I tell them that I've been working for them for 12 weeks and ask for a colleague discount card, or should I wait until they approach me about it?

Hello, I work for ASDA and have done so for a year, have worked on ALOT of departments and am trained on ALOT of different things (I'm a bit of an ASDA whore, but I need the money, so I like to do alot!)

If you have ANY questions about applying, the application or the interviewing process, even the working and the way to use a till (if your desperate to know :P ) just ask!

So, can anyone help me out here?

My job submission status has been 'Application in Progress' for a few weeks now.. when apparently I was told they normally contact you a few days after your application to invite you to the interview.


What does this mean...

Thanks!

I didnt hear back for a month or so, the job I applied for had already been filled, so they gave me a better one (or it would have been if I didnt have holidays booked over the training week!).

Could try calling them though if you wanted.

Mine has been the same. I applied at the start of the month and it has said 'application in progress' ever since. Not had any contact aside from the initial acknowledgement email.

It doesn't really matter for me now - I have a job elsewhere - but it is a curious situation.

Check your email and ring HR or the store itself to find out what's going on.

Pay day is good and bad. Good to get money, bad that it's never enough for what feels like your soul.

Heya
Quick question... I'm hopefully store swapping and have filled in the internal transfer form. Do you know how long it will take (roughly) for the new store to contact me & what the procedure is for letting them know about starting / leaving at my current store??

Have applied for grocery - any ideas what it'll entail??

Sorry loads of questions :/

Hi
I'm going to the ASDA Magic selection event tomorrow and I'm extremely excited about it, but much more nervous!

What sort of questions do they ask you? I've heard you have to talk about a product in front of a group of strangers.. what else can I expect?

Also, would wearing black jeans be too casual?

Any other tips and advice would be great!

Hi.

Erm the session is really relaxed. They started off with a group interview. All we did in this was find out things about the person we were sitting next to (name, age, education, why they want to work at ASDA, and one random question - like who would they take out to dinner if they could choose anyone), and then introduced them to the rest of the group.

We were then split into two teams and did a team challenge, we had marshmallows and pasta and had to build the highest tower we could. I think the main thing about this is that you have to show you work well in a team (give input when necessary, listen to other people when you should) and just enjoy yourself. I don't know if it had any bearing on whether we were picked but the other two people I was working with in this team challenge got the job as well, whereas no-one from the other team did. During the team challenge we were just having a laugh and getting along, the other team looked forced.

You then get a tour of the store and go on to the shop floor do to some tasks. i.e. they'd give you things to find on the shop floor, ask any of the customers if they needed help (we didn't do this though as no-one wanted any help), find products that have been put on sale etc.

And that was pretty much all we did. We did no 1-on-1 interviews at the session as we all got interviews the week after.

Just be yourself really, if you can show them that your happy and easy/fun to work with, I'm sure you'll get the job.

Hi

I have a few questions i would like to ask.

1. I have a asda magic interview on the 4th sep, iv done some research into what happens but the bit im scared of is were you need to stand up and tell the group about the person who you asked questions. Because iv got slight stutter and it goes bad when nervous. I was wondering what questions shall i ask my partner

2. What shall i wear during the interview? shirt,suit pants,smart shoes?

There's quite a lot of replies for this throughout the thread so I'll just copy and paste one of mine from a while back....






1) Might be different for different stores but we stayed seated during this part and the lady running it told us what they wanted us to find out from the person sitting next to us. (See above)

2) That's what I wore and it was fine.

Hey, I was just wondering whether anyone could answer my questions, What is the hourly rate for an over 18 store assistant? and do I get a break for working 7.5 hourse and if so, how long?
