Sainsburys thread MK ll

I'm applying for a job at sainsburys using their online application, but am a bit worried about the referee boxes. I stopped education last year and haven't been in contact with any of my former teachers since then, who else could I get a reference from? I haven't had a job before either. help!!

Mine didn't even ask for a reference until after my probationary period which I thought was a really weird thing to do. They're very disorganised (at the least)

How much do sainsburys pay for 16 nd 17 year olds.?

when is your payday if your job is temporary or permanent?

I don't think it makes a difference if you're permanent or not but next payday is Friday . Next one after that is 5th October.

I was a department manager for Sainburys on both day and night shift for 3 years, checkout, GM, dry goods and night shift.. Sainsburys are one of the worst companies to work for. They do not give a flying monkey!

In your interview, put forward that the customer is of paramount importance and you'll always follow instructions, but won't be afraid to mention if you think something can be done better. Say you don't mind staying longer as that's what you're expected to do most days (but really do kick up a fuss about it when they take the piss). You should have good communication skills and try and be as chatty as possible. They love a chatty Cathy!

Just be yourself. They are bum holes though. You get paid every 4 weeks. Good luck!

I handed in my resignation and everything 2 weeks ago but today i recieved a letter saying i have missed 3 shifts and have to attend a disciplinary meeting but have enrolment at college on the same day and time as the meeting will be at, i have effectively already quit working for sainsburys i would ring to tell them this but never recieved a number so that is out of the picture and i am not travelling 7 miles to the store to tell them i quit already so what would be the best thing to do, i dont want to use sainsburys as a reference in the future so just wondering whats the best way to go about this "disciplinary meeting"?

anyone else having issue with the Sainsbury's recruitment website?

Send a letter back saying you've quit and you'll drop your uniform off at a later date.

Ok i'll just do that, i got the letter today and they want me there at 9am tomorrow morning there is no way i can do that.
Im just afraid because i worked about 35 hours the past month and have a feeling that i wont get paid for the hours i've done because my manager was abit of an idiot :/

Yeah. There was 12 vacancies in my area (great!) and it took me over an hour of faffing about on it for the application to go through. I would answer all the questions and at the final hurdle, get an error page! I probably answered the assessment questions about 10 times in all... grr! It's not working at all now. I don't understand it either because on the new recruitment website it says 12 vacancies but only 5 on the old one (like when you click "apply" and have to login then re-search for the vacancy you want!

So annoying
