Marks and Spencer

Hi Guys!

I have just completed the online application for Marks and Spencer and managed to be successful to be invited for an interview which I am happy with. What should I expect apart from role-play and competency questions would it be wise to research the company and prepare notes for the interview? Oh and my interview is tomorrow.

Any input?

Thanks.

That was so helpful, thank you so much. Seems like you did everything right and more so I don't understand why you didn't get the job!!

I actually wasn't able to attend the interview so I rang them and they said that there would be more vacancies online at the end of the week so I would need to book onto one of them. I just wanna make sure that I'm prepared enough for the questions because I know I get nervous at times and my mind goes blank. Around how many questions did you get approximately? And also my biggest question...where on earth did you go when you first went into the store?! I had a snoop round my M&S at the weekend and couldn't for the life of me find the customer service desk

All the temp jobs expire on the 27th. This is my third year and that is the date roughly, always the Saturday after Christmas. Some people certainly do get kept on, make sure you volunteer for extra hours etc.

Can anyone tell me the cut off point for pay? I know pay is 10th of the month, but I need the cut off point so I can work out my first pay amount thanks.

How do I go about getting one of my parents a discount card guys?
Anyone did this before with experience?

Go to your staff office and ask for an additional card holder form.

Hello,

This may seem like a bit of a random question, but yesterday I attended an interview for a temporary Christmas vacancy and managed to get the job! My interviewer asked when I was able to start, so I said immediately as I have no other long-term commitments or another job. I signed the forms that needed to be signed and she said that my offer of employment and contract would arrive through the post in a few days. She also asked if there were any individual days I would be unable to work, and at the time, I didn't think there were, so I said no. I'm attending my induction days on Thursday and Friday.

Upon arriving home however, my mum informed me that there are two days I may not be able to attend, one being considerably important, due to pre-arranged plans. Seeing as I'd already agreed that I would "officially" start work this Saturday, my working days being Sundays, Saturdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I was just wondering whether it would be possible to call up the M&S recruitment line and ask whether it would be okay for me to start work this Sunday instead of Saturday, the day of which I can't attend, considering it was quite short notice and at the time I wasn't aware of any plans I had. The other day I may not be able to come in is next Thursday, but apart from those two days, I'm good to go.

Do you think they will accept this and able to work around this and reschedule my hours for those two days? I've heard M&S are quite flexible regarding their days and hours and it would be great if I could just get these two days off and make up for the hours on alternative days. Also, how would I go about doing this? Shall I call the store I'm working at, or the main recruitment line? Will they send me through to the appropriate person? What should I say?

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I have my induction on Monday and was thinking of wearing black jeans and a black jumper, do you guys think that's okay or should I wear 'smart' black trousers

Keep it smart. You don't want to risk it mate.
