Never had that problem myself, if theres a contact number around try that, if not look up asda's head office number online and give them a call about it.

I unfortunately work there and I can't wait to leave = just waiting to find another job!

Anybody who says its a wonderful place to work, seriously needs their head looking at lol. Only good thing is the pay, which tbh isn't bad if you're sit on your butt allday :tongue:

lol.

I'm going to be working on checkouts, I've got my induction this weekend!

Is it any good? Or is it really just repetitive? Don't know what to expect!

I started off on checkouts . . and it starts off well, great customer interaction and quite enjoyable. After a while it gets v v boring and tedious. I unfortunately sustained an injury earlier in the year, due to uni work overload and asked to go on self scan = which I thoroughly enjoy, and is a lot better. I've managed to gain extra shifts by being able to multi task onto these two things.

Do I have to apply online or can't I go to the ASDA store and just ask for an application form seeing as I know they definately have vacancies?

Do you get to opt out of checkout work?

It depends on the vacancy, generally there is a solely checkout team, you can however opt to train on the checkouts even if you're part of another department e.g. George or Home&Leisure

Each Magic session is different, the first one I went to (whilst at uni) was a *lot* longer than the one i had last thursday and didn't involve any selling anyway.

Just be yourself and possibly make a little joke or two to make yourself rememberable for example, we had to interview another applicant to find out as much as we could, then share with the group, my partner wanted to work tills and was male, so when it came to telling the group I said "He's 17, from Colchester and wants to be a Till Girl" got a few laughs and some audience interaction and a second interview offer 2 days later :smile:
