Sainsburys thread MK ll

Hi

I have an interview @ Sainsburys quite soon. My friend has a job there and he says its really straight forward and you're almost guaranteed the job. Any tips?

Thanks

I actually use this discount, upgraded my iphone to the 4s on Friday, and get 20% off my monthly bill (£51 bill down to £40 a month).
You basically get either 10% or 20% off. 10% for contracts under £20 p/m and 20% for contracts over £20 p/m.
I'll PM you the link you need to get on there, cos i don't think it should be public!

I'm looking to upgrade as well my nokia is on its last legs
is it possible to pm me the link?

Please can you PM me too? My Vodafone contract is very nearly off and some money off would be fabulous! Thank you

Could someone also PM me this information regarding the phone contracts especially 02 just about to upgrade this week!

Would be much appreciated.

In terms of holiday, my store tends to bug you about it for ages and just allocate you the holiday if you don't hand anything in. HR will know for sure.

Has anybody done a team leader assessment recently? I have one on Friday and was wondering what it involves.

I've done the department management trainee assessment day this year, but didn't get through I'm guessing it can't be as indepth as that.

Any help will be appreciated.

I assessed one of these about 2 months ago so I can say a little. It consists of a DVD + Role Play if you are an external candidate or simply a Role Play if you are an internal candidate.

Hi all,

Can anyone shed any light as to why shifts seem quite short? Position is as a delivery driver and they are all 4 hours.

I'm currently doing the same job for another supermarket and know the obvious reason why they're that length (it's probably the length of your delivery run).. just curious as to why they don't make them longer..

The vacancy is more hours than my current job but only just and spread over more days!

When I worked in store, our teamleaders admitted the company like people to work 4 hour shifts because then you don't get a break. A bit cynical perhaps, but probably true lol.

Cheers, I persume the roleplay is the team leader talking to a staff member who is having too long on breaks etc. So just have to let them talk their point rather than just give them a rollocking about it all.

I do 4 hour shifts at a time for this reason, in fact, everyone on my department does. They're quite happy to admit it in my store!

Thanks for the help. The induction went well.

When's the next pay day? I've lost track

I've got my induction in a few days, what do you do in it , was it like roleplay and discussions? I have a 3 day induction for 16 hours.

Also, what did you wear for it ?

Could someone please PM me the link for both o2 and vodafone. Dont know which network to get.

You do a DVD test, and as far as I know, whether you are employed or not is based on this. It's much like the test you did on the website when applying

In my Induction we watched loads of dvds, filled out an induction booklet, emergency contact details and done a test at the end, we were also showed where things were in the store eg. clocking in and out machine, canteen etc. My induction was only for a day so you might have more things set up for you to do.

I wore skinny black jeans and vans with a unstructured blazer. Just make sure your comfortable with what your wearing because the day is long.
