My HR status is "Assessments to be completed". What does this mean? How do I fill it in? Any help would be appreciated.


It means u have not completed your application, log in to ur asda online account and check under 'ASSESSMENTS' and complete them, u will probably have to do a personality test and numerical tests. Its easy enough. :smile:

Hi there! :biggrin:
'Application Under Review' what are my chances of being called for interview?
I applied for the position of a part time shop floor assistant. Received an email telling me to note my candidate number and that they should be contacting me soon after they have looked carefully at my application, i guess i have already passed the online assessments.. ?


who knows your chances? it'll depend on how many applications they recieve, closing dates, your assessment etc. As for passing the assessment, you may have done the minimum to get considered. I believe they level your score and depending on numbers call all those that have past a certain level back.

Oh.. that happened to me once, there was nothing in the assessment section
What i did is that i created a new account and started a new application, I guess that's the only thing u can do becuz i think it is a technical problem with their online applications.

Hello, I work for ASDA and have done so for a year, have worked on ALOT of departments and am trained on ALOT of different things (I'm a bit of an ASDA whore, but I need the money, so I like to do alot!)

If you have ANY questions about applying, the application or the interviewing process, even the working and the way to use a till (if your desperate to know :P ) just ask!



Hello! Its very kind of you to offer your advice for those in need :smile:
I would like to aks you if asdas shifts and hours are flexible (like mcdonalds) ? Or fixed like a contract? I applied to one asda home shopping centre which is a 28 hour vacancy, but say if i got the job would I be able to do 28 hours for one week and then reduce it to 24 or 20 the next week etc? And does the rota change every week aswell? Its for a shop floor assistant vacancy.

Thanks :smile:

hi

and can I ask aswell, how easy is it for me to get the job at asda as shop floor assistant? (I work at Primark and McDonalds atm). I have been invited for the Asda Magic sessions. Roughly how many people that come to the sessions get asked to come back for a one to one interview? Is it fairly easy like McDonalds, or very tough and competitive like getting a job in Boots?


thanks again,

You're welcome. I think it depends from store to store tbh - I applied a week before the closing date and got an email inviting me to an Asda Magic interview about 2 hours afterwards, so it really can vary.

Ohh, thats should not be happening, btw you are not leaving the application open for too long r u ?? when i get to the assessments do them straight away, i donno wat the problem might be.
hmmmm. that's a weird one tbh. I have no idea what you can do other than ring up the store you're applying for and ask personnel. Sorry I can't be of any more help. :s-smilie:

No I try to do it straight away. I've tried ringing asda and the reply I get is. "It's all online." :angry:

For me, the assessments happened during the application, straight away. :s-smilie: Have a look in the 'unfinished job applications' bit and see if anything is there?

So did you complete it? Or was that one just to trial if it's working?

I did it but for a slightly further location. Having a job which is a little far is better than no job

Definitely true. Which store have you applied to?
