I'm just wondering, when will the next uniform change be? We had one in Janurary, so would I be right in assuming it's sometime in June/July/August.

How much do they pay stockroom assistants? I applied for a job which is 6 hours p/w. I'm 17 btw. :smile:

Interview tomorrow! scared to death. I'm not great in interview situations :frown:

Do next allow piercings? I don't know whether to take mine out... or just ask during my interview and say I'd be able to take them out if required?

Got a job in the stockroom at Next. 4 hours per week @ £4.98 per hour. Better than nothing :tongue:

What I hate about these retail store job applications is that they harp on about caring about the company and what you do etc when in reality 99% of young people doing a part time job at H&M or whatever are just doing it for the money and couldn't give a **** about the company.

Good luck! :smile:

Yeah my contract is 4 hours per week but I've been told that I'll probably be given quite a few more hours each week, which is good to hear.

Aaaaaaaargh!

Well, I joined Next only 4 months ago (if you click back a few pages you'll see my posts asking about what I should wear for the interview!) but I've just been given a permanent 16 hour contract working in the admin and cash office! Well chuffed!

More to that, due to managers leaving and the like, from Monday to Saturday of this week I'm going to be running the Home department! To say I feel a little bit overwhelmed would be an understatement haha, I've even been revising today everything they've taught me on how to keep it all running smoothly. We'll have to see how it goes...

Does anyone know how Next are with store transfers? i.e, being transferred from your store at uni to the one at home for summer?

I just got an interview for stockroom Assistant with a Next opening up near by. What's the interview like and what should I wear? :smile:

Are interviews standard, like if I turn up dressed well and show encouragement would a job be likely?

Had an interview for stockroom assistant a few weeks back. The interviewer picked 3 of the questions that I answered from that online questionnaire and asked me why I picked them. We then went into the stockroom and she showed me where all the clothes went and how I should fold them. I was given a few items of clothing to hang up and a small pile to fold. I was then taken back to the office where I answered a few general questions (like what would be your greatest challenge if you got the job etc) and then we went over admin stuff like what hours I could work.

I wore a too-short-for-an-interview skirt, tights, a striped shirt and an unstructered fabric light grey blazer. I'd say my outfit definitely fell under the "smart-casual" rather than the "smart" category but I still got the job. Good luck :smile:

Thank you so much, better watch a few youtube vids regarding 'How to fold and hang clothes' :redface:

The store hasn't even opened yet so who knows what it'll be like.
