The Sainsbury's Thread

There';s loads of examples if you search google. I think you just hand it to checkout manager, I think it's 4 weeks notice.

4 weeks! thtas pretty long, i wanted to leave now so i could enjoy the summer.

i really don't understand the online recruitment selection when you see if they have any vacancies..do you have to go through each type of role to find a vacancy or if you leave it blank does it look up them all? If i want only a 12hour ish contract what would be the salary range i select? i'm a bit confused, if anyone could help i'd be grateful

I'll be going the same way... when I have a new job to go to. It's not a case of if, I WILL find something if it kills me. Such a ******* "miserable make you feel like *****" weekend there tbh.

I'm just real hacked off with Sainsbury's right now. I don't know why people subject themselves to a job where on teh whole customers just view you as dirt and whatever, the policies suck arse and so does the staff treatment in general full-stop. They don't even think to inform people about changes and stuff to policy, all of a sudden they just happen and then if you make those mistakes you get busted in for them.

I know this comes and goes in spells for me but uncertainty is only resolved upon termination of my career with Sainsbury's after securing something more prosperous elsewhere I know nothing better to assume than that.

So it was 06:59, I was standing in front of the clocking in machine waiting for it to change to 07:00 so i could clock out, and there was a security check, and the 'fresh foods team leader' was there. And he says to me "you shouldn't be standing around here waiting to clock out, you could've worked that extra minute! " and i was like 'ok...' and the security guard sort of smirked, and he looked at him and said 'what? ' and he was like 'nothing '

Does it matter very much if you clock out a minute early? I usually end up clocking out about 5-10 minutes late as they're always late taking me off the checkouts but yesterday I think I clocked out 2 minutes early. The checkout manager at my store who is a real cow is away on holiday and I always get off on time or get the closing signed put up for me a couple of minutes early (without even asking!).

once again.....someone else has gotten the interview over me..... once again *sniffles*

which sainsburys did you apply to?

Hopefully you'll get it next time

Finchley Road for General Assistant,got the same score as another person but they applied before me.... I seriously feel drained 3rd time this has happened......hmmm

OK I know where that is. That sucks if it was just a time difference between you a bit unfair imo.

I just got an e-mail saying I didn't make it through...sucks .

I really don't like those questions as more then on can be the best answer for certain situations

Ahh I know it is so hard to answer those questions but I am going to keep on trying, you should too

eh I will hopefully one of us eventually gets it do you have to wait a certain amount of time before reapplying? also can you reapply again to the same store?

Use various email addresses (but you didn't hear it from me lolz) and I think as long as you use a different email address you can reapply everywhere...I think ..

lol oh right is that what you did? if it is I guess you can as they didn't say anything

will they let you if you use the same e-mail?

I am not too sure, sometimes when I apply using the same email add after being online rejected they said I can't do it, but I think it depends on the position you applied for... But I am not too sure

eh I'll try later today and see what happens


applied to about 20 jobs in the past few months and have experience with work and still haven't been successfull or haven't heard back . Sainsburrys might be my only chance

In exactly the same position! I got a gap year coming up so I really need a job and I hope Sainsburys will be the one
