Lol, i'm getting SICK of job hunting. Iv applied to over 600 jobs in the previous month and a half, had 18 interviews and today got offered my first two jobs! One is for a social carer, 8 hours a week and the other is a school cleaner two hours a day. 18 hours a week at £6ph really isnt enough for bills and savings
Not even £450 a month and I am meant to be helping my parents out too!

its been almost 28 days for me, no news is good news to a certain extent, no such thing as a hold in my books, its just another way of saying rejection but can apply to other stores without interview

Totally agree with you, I really don't want to be put on hold. It was so hard just trying to find a job that's suitable for me, also im young so not many employers would want to employ me as they think teenagers aren't responsible enough.
It sucks because I'm actually really mature for my age.

How do you know whether it is east or west?

I understand you. I wouldn't have wanted a hold either.

I don't see the point of having a "hold" outcome. It should be either "accept" or "reject". "Hold" means that you're on a waiting list if someone who has been offered a position declines, which is very unlikely.

I'm annoyed because people were getting offer replies after 1 week yet people like me have been waiting over 3 weeks! I have other interviews coming up but it puts me in an awkward position since without a firm offer of employment I really have to keep my options open and perform well during assessments and interviews which is quite stressful.

Really frustrating!!

we applied for the oxford street east, store so obvs, it will be for east. however my email says im contracted to work both east and west store. so after my induction what happens, do i wait for the east store to open, or will they send me to the west store.

[miss_fashionista]

did you not watch the presentation? it explained that we would be contracted to work in both stores.

As Miss fashionsta said hardly anyone on here has had an induction so its doubtful anyone on here would know. Why dont you ring the HR deparment and ask them?
