Part time jobs are impossible to get!

Oh OK, that's fine. So, here's what happened on my assessment day:

I was in a room with about 40 other people going for jobs too. Firstly, they got us all to arrange ourselves in a line in alphabet order (by first name). We then had to sit in the rows of chairs in alphabet order.

One by one, each person had to go up on the stage and give a brief introduction about ourselves. The questions we got were: What's your name? What languages can you speak? Tell us something unusual about you.

Then we were split into groups of about 6, and had to to work together to create a presentation about what words describe what it takes to work in customer services at Harrods. Then each group did their presentation on the stage to everyone else in the room.

That's kinda the gist of it. It seems like they're wanting really confident, out-going people. I cam across shy that day, and consequently didn't get the job unfortunately. But hopefully you can do well

Oh I'm sorry you didn't get the job, there's always a next time!

Was your assessment for an hour?

My retail experience isn't that great and I never worked in luxury places before so I'm worried.
Thank you very much really helpful.

I can't really remember how long it was, sorry. I think it must have been less than an hour though. I only had one month's experience in a charity shop when I got called for the assessment. I'm sure you'll be fine though, since a lot of it is just common sense.

Jeez, how annoying are Wallis? I applied for a job at a new store near me, and all they do is add me to their email shopping newsletter

No one will give me a job. So sad

Print 50 CVs walk around town give them to shop owners.
I'm sure you'll get at least one reply.

I'm sure you probably won't get any replies (at least in my experience when I was in sixth form).

You will.The thing is most people look at the brand names, tesco,mcdonald etc.They don't look at mom&pops run small shops that need all the part time help they can get.

I had 4:
Dominos, a butchers, Game and Clintons.
All before I turned 18 and whilst in 5th and 6th year. I then proceeded to get my now job during the summer of 6th year going into uni.

Dear OP, Call centres. I work in one, £8.50 an hour, sure the targets might be tricky but they're ALWAYS looking for people because such a high turn over. Check all the bank websites. That's how I got mine.

I was looking for 3 years then 2 came at the same time.

I took both

Which call centre?

Greedy! hehehehe
Where are they?

Teaching cheerleading in a Primary School and working in a store

Seeing as you live in Glasgow. Most banks have their call centres in Scotland. Give Lloyds TSB a try
