was applying to asda online, however when I click do to assessments all it says is pending assessment and has the close button? So how do I do the online assessment?

I went in store to ask for an app but they said its all online, fair enough I guess.

I cannot seem to find a contact number for asda that handles recruitment, as clearly there is some sort of technical error that I cannot access the assessment

How long does it take for ASDA to get back to me about my online application?
Also, i applied to work in the Produce section and the Chilled Products section, what do i have to do in these?

I work on produce and it's basically just getting fruit and veg on the shelves and making sure there isn't any out of date stuff on display. Produce also covers the flowers section. Chilled is stuff like meat, cheese, milk and it's just shelf stacking - not as much as produce . As for how long it takes for them to get back to you it depends which store you applied to, our store has a long waiting list already cause loads of people applied but it depends i guess...

I applied for a closing date last week and so did a friend for the same position they have heard back and been rejected. How long does it take to get in touch usually?

i'm in exactly the same position as you. applied to two stores, closing the 26th oct and 2nd nov but not heard from either, apart from the confirmation you get saying they've received your application. i read that they inform even unsuccessful applicants but figured maybe they were getting lazy and didn't do that anymore, but this post gives me hope, maybe it means we're still being considered? i need a job so badly right now!

I work on the Produce Section in ASDA. It's alright.. It's hard work though.
Lots of heavy lifting, lots of date checking, Lots of manky gone of tomatoes, Lots of people complaining you never have lettuce in and lots of fun, especially the produce department at my ASDA, closest department in the whole store.. it's a small department so it's a nice little environment. (:

Hope I've helped.

I'm scared.

I had one of these a couple of weeks ago and it was less scary than I thought it would be!

There was about 10 of us. They registered us and asked us what departments we wanted to work in. Then they made us pair up with the person next to us and we had to ask them questions and then introduce them to the rest of the group.

We were then put into groups and told to create an advert for a product we were given. Had about 10 minutes but as long as you seem enthusiastic and friendly it doesn't matter too much what you say to some degree.

We then had to go down to the shop floor and were told to help pack peoples bags (if they wanted us to) for about 20 minutes. Again seem polite, warm and friendly.

Finally they told us a bit about Asda, the pay and what the next stage of the process was. Took about 1 to 1 and a half hours

Good luck

i attended my asda magic interview last week and got a call back 2 days later asking me to come back for a one on one interview. I went for my one on one interview on tuesday and I felt it went really well. I was told I would be sent an email within 24 hours telling me if i had got the job but that I would also get an email even if I was unsuccessful. That was 2 days ago now and I have recieved no email. Was just wondering if anyone else had this problem? and what you think I should do about it? thanks for any help

If they really wanted you, they would of made contact with you, no contact is usually bad.

Not usually... they usually let those who aren't succesful know sooner than the ones they want to see again. They wait till they can get the dates for 1 on 1's and such sorted before contacting them
