Don't worry. I was the same with my first job. Freaked out that I was getting paid below minimum for nights.
The good thing is you tend to get all your tax back at once which means a huge pay day 😍😍

When did you get yours back? Do you think it will be next month or later than that? I'm used to getting paid weekly and prefer it instead of having to wait another 30 days haha
I had an interview on Wednesday (29/07) and then came in on thursday (30/07) to hand in my documents and the women asked me if I wanted to do a work sample. So I just worked in clothing for half an hour with some random women then after half an hour the women said I could leave if I liked so I left. Is this normal? Was I being assessed? Seems like I worked half an hour for free
Also does anyone know how long it takes them to contact you after this? They haven't given me any information at all...

Do Tesco even hire 17 year olds? Seems like they only want 18 year olds 
Everyone I've asked about tesco that is 17, said they got rejected.

They do, I was 17 when I got hired a month ago; although I'm 18 now. My job hasn't changed at all so there is no advantage to having me at the age of 18 rather than 17. The only advantage is I don't have to ask someone if I can serve age restricted items... Not really going to make them want 18 year old's over 17's in my opinion.
One of my colleagues in the same department is 17, she started in December and turns 18 in September. Plus, a majority of people in my store started when they were 16/17 years ago! It's just a coincident that it was all your friends that were 17 that got rejected. I'm sure an equal amount of 25 year old's are rejected too!

Yeah that's totally normal that's what i did! Except my work sample was on the day of my interview and i was wearing heels and had to walk around the store for two hours haha. Afterwards they asked the girl i was with whether i did okay, but for me it was as though the interview was most important and the work sample was more for yourself too see if you're comfortable in that department. Chances are you've got the job. Yeah it's unpaid which is annoying, but you get paid for the induction day
(it is really long though) You did really well to get an interview as they said you have to get only 2 questions wrong in the online application to even be considered for an interview.Original post by SheLikeTheMango

applied to another 2 jobs, where have you been looking?
So I've applied to 5 Tesco jobs, all about a week ago. The deadline for all of them have passed. I haven't gotten a rejection email yet. Should I have gotten one if I was rejected by now?
Need a job for uni (start back 21st September) and I applied very early 😂

Was it the questionnaire too? Their questionnaire is really in depth, I can see why I failed at that stage.

I found their questionnaire nicer than tesco's.
Was probably my personality answers that got me

I've passed the questionnaire a few times but been unavailable for the interviews and they wouldn't move them
but it's the personality bit, like every question they have an answer like 'I look for new ways to carry out routine tasks' and that kinda suggests you'd get bored of the job quickly and they want people to do as they're told so I picked the answers that weren't them! Hope that helps for next time!Posted from TSR Mobile

I wasn't really fussed about the boots job cause if I ended up getting it I would be working practically 24 hours for friday/saturday and another 24 for saturday/sunday
