If you gave an email address, check your inbox every now and again, likewise for phone numbers.

Usually it might take a few weeks (i'd give it 3 weeks maximum for a online application).

Yeah you will get an email shortly saying thank you for applying for the position at .......... They will tell you in the email that they receive a volume of applications so they'll only contact those who are successful within 21 days. I submitted my application form online and they rang me a week after :rolleyes:

If you don't get an email from them just log back into the website and review your application form just in case you might have missed out something. Good luck with the application :smile:

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam, shirt and trousers never fail, keep it smart like navy and stone or black and a coloured shirt. Don't wear a jacket if you're going to be really uncomfortable in it, but it's nice to have one to wear in and take off in there.

Can anyone tell me what the 'Group Assessment' thing is like?

I had a group interview / assessment for debenhams at the Manchester Andale centre. The group interview wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, the manager was nice and he kept reassuring us at the beginning of the interview that it would be fun and just relax. I know it can be quite daunting at first. But just try to relax and don’t panic (that’s really the last thing you should do).

It wasn’t really that nerve wrecking; I just kept smiling all the way trough. The whole point of a group interview is so the employer can see how you interact with people, and how well you communicate with others. The key is really to make yourself stand out and don’t be shy.

The interview started with some fun ice breakers, which were used to make the group interview a lot more fun and interesting. We had to write down three things about ourselves. Two of things had to be true and the other thing had to a lie. However it was up to the other people to figure out which one out of three was the lie. The next task was to pair up and we were each given a department so I was given the baby/maternity department and we were asked to pick out any item and sell it to the rest of the group. Now this is the most important task of the rest and this is where you should really sell yourself and make yourself stand out from the rest, not only will test your communication skills but also show all well you can work in a team , then we were each interviewed by one of the senior management team and after that it was over. If your successful or unsuccessful then they would ring you or send you a letter withing 21 days after the interview has taken place.

Good luck!
