Working at Next

I have a next shop floor assessment in a few days to see if I get a job or not, any idea what I should wear? Jeans, Chinos or Cords? what shirt etc

I asked during the phone interview when the called prior to getting offered the job there. I was told to wear black trousers/jeans and a black top as we would be doing practical assessments. Might be worth calling to check with your store though as they may want you to wear something smarter depending on what role you've applied for.

First off it depends on the closing date.. but it shouldn't usually take 4 weeks. The only time this happened to me was when a 4* employee got the position so they took it down early (4* employee's get priority). They didn't let me know until just over a month later. You could ring the store but if not you just have to wait for an email :smile:

It's really frustrating, I know :smile:

Hey
I got an offer for a permanent job at next; however, i have to go back to uni in September. They didn't really understand when I said this and they gave me the job anyway ( i think they though that i would still be able to do the contract hours in September which I cant). Do you think its okay to quit after a couple of months? Also whats the notice period for Next? Do Next make you sign a contract where you have to do a minimum number of months if having a permanent position ?

The notice period is one month if you're there longer than 3 months, anything before that is one week. Yes you sign a contract for the hours you have applied, since you still haven't signed the contract ask if there are any different hours possibly available ? I did that, and went from a thurs and sunday contract to just weekend. Good luck :smile:

They will probably keep putting you on temporary contracts (I'm currently on my second) but if/when they decide to make you permanent you will probably be able to discuss the hours and make any changes. If you can work more than 16 hours a week just change your availability to what you can do and the system will just put you in for more shifts automatically. Otherwise, there is a thing you can do where you can pick up extra shifts so if you see a shift you can do and you want to work more hours you can just pick more up.
Hope this helps :smile:

Doesn't it mean "take whole shift as time of absence". Which should mean you're offering up your whole shift on the market place etc?

Oh do you know if that has to be approved by the manager?

TOA means 'time off available'. So you can take the time off if you want it, whether you take the whole shift off or just even 1/2 hour is up to you. It doesn't need to be approved by a manager.
