The Waitrose Thread

I live in wood green. South woodford is a bit too far to travel to from tottenham. Did you apply for the barnet branch aswell?

this south woodford job has been going for over a week now.Im hoping ive bene put through to the interviews. If not then all that wait was for nothing.

You lot need to learn some patience. My application and interview process took over 3 months from start to finish and i was the first in my group to get the job

I can understand your situation and am sorry to hear you were made redundant. But do you not think that you are a little bit TOO qualified for this job. How are students like me meant to compete with you for this kind of job? You could so get a well paid job with your MA and work experience, whereas I couldn't. These low skill jobs are the only kind of jobs that students can get these days.
Best of luck with the job hunting anyway.

Don't you hate it when they take so long to reply, I hate the wait, I just want to know.
I've applied for a job at Waitrose and have been waiting over a week now, I chased it up and the personell manager said she'd been on holiday and is starting to look through them now, so hopefully not too much longer before I get a reply

Honestly you will be taking on enough without the pressure of extra hours at the moment, as as already said 90% of the overtime would have already been taken, and sales drop massively during the summer due to holidays etc.

You can ask to be till trained but you probably will be anyway in time.

Whereas in our branch our sales almost double during the summer and there is tons of overtime to be had. Thankyou tourists.

Me and my brother both applied for it and recieved an email on saturday saying our applications are being considered further and they would be in contact shortly. Its tuesday and no phone call, status change or email.

Where abouts do you live? I live in tottenham which is about 40mins away from the branch.

Has there been a change in the emails usually sent in regard to the online application. I have applied a year ago and normally there was one automated email stating they have received the application, then an email either stating they were inviting you to an interview or one saying they are not considering the application any further. Since last week maybe I have been sent two emails saying they are considering my application...

Is anyone aware of the new process?

To be honest, I doubt you will - Waitrose South Woodford are not even taking back old workers and are being very stingy with hours. I think they probably have around one postion going if any at all. Often they advertise and dont hire.

Or they could be doing what my branch is and lining up candidates for the uni students leaving in september rather than starting them over the summer months

Yeah I can see what you mean, but they are trying to cut back everyones hours and havnt been replacing people when they have left. What section was the vacancy on?
