NEXT Sales Support Team

Hi, I applied for a job at Next and recieved a call this morning inviting me to an induction. It is for the sales support team and is my first induction. What is it like? What do I have to do? :confused: I have never had a job before

Hey I just got a job for sales support and didn't have an interview or anything.. as far as I'm aware you only need to go for an induction then that's you :smile: I have my induction on Thursday and first shift next week.

I forgot I even applied so I wad quote surprised about the phone call. I guess they'll just be telling us the rules so to say and the way they do things in the store if you get me. Don't be nervous induction days are easy :smile:

I've applied to them so many times that I can't remember probably a few weeks but ive heard people hearing back quickly since it's the busier periods now.

I applied on the Next website. Yeah I am excited, hopefully I get the job. I haven't been told what hours I'd be doing yet, do you know yours?

Don't worry, I was worried because I didn't have an interview. What questions did they ask you?
There was already a thread for this, but nevermind :rolleyes:
I did the summer sale '13 and now work permanently at Next, if you've anymore questions let me know. :smile:

Do we have to wear that ugly t-shirt!? I am so nervous about wearing it because I'm overly self conscious about my arms :frown: and do we have to wear black trousers? Are we allowed to wear a black skirt with tights??

I'm afraid so :frown: If you really are self-conscious about your arms, wear a long-sleeved black top underneath :smile: You're allowed to wear either black pants or skirt & tights, it's completely up to you aslong as you look smart!

It was good. Just health and safety, contract signing, shown how to use the equipment and picking up your tshirt. Quite excited now :biggrin:
hey ive applied for a temp sale support job at next too, does anyone know the length of the contract?
How did ou go about getting a permanent role? did you apply seperately for that? or did they ask if you wanted to stay on as a permanent member of staff?
