Thanks

Only guessing here but will probably be customer service skills, competency based questions. Prepare loads of examples to questions such as 'what would you do if a customer was kicking off' or 'name an example when you have worked as a team' etc.

i had one there, is it the clothes part? if so i got asked 'what are the current treads?' 'how would you help someone find an outfit' what would you do if they wanted a top/pants and there wasnt any in their size'

but that was 3 years ago tho but hope it kind of helps x

I got a phonecall today saying i have a job for a sale period of 4 days, and she asked me some simple questions over the phone.
She then said your induction is on Tuesday..

No interview for me...

Just wondered if you got any shifts after the sale, because i would like a job over the summer period!

Thanks.

It depends how well you impress over the 4 days! A couple of people I work with got their jobs by impressing during the sale, so you never know.

Be extremely helpful and don't complain about anything - should get you far - especially sale time!

Sounds good to me! I was interviewed on a Sunday (of all days I know!) and they rang me Tuesday. They will probably let you know before Wednesday though, as sale starts 19th and they will want you in asap.

Hey. I think you should look smart for your interview. I know that at my nexts you're not allowed to wear casual clothes anyway... I wore a blouse and skinny jeans with black shoes. Though you're a boy, so I would just suggest to keep it smart.

Well, as i didnt have an interview what would you suggest wearing for the induction?
I assume its smart again, perhaps some black trousers and a shirt and tie?

Does anyone what the pay and benefits are?

thanks btw

Congrats! Depending how long you've got the job for will depend on benefits you get. Pay at the Next I work at is £5.71 for over 18 and £4.94 for under 18, but I think it depends on what area it is and that.

Hi guys,

I applied yesterday by handing a CV in since they said they were currently recruiting and I know they have their sale this Saturday; do you think it is likely I will be given an interview or anything like that in time for starting this Sat?
