Working at Next

Original post by charlotte1998xxx

Hi I know this thread is kind of old so I may not get a reply but here goes anyway:

I got the job at next, had my phone interview and then my in-store assessment and they offered me the job and said that they would call me to arrange my induction. This was on Monday and I haven't had my call yet. I've called and they said the woman gets back from holiday on Friday and Friday has passed but I still haven't heard anything. My friend said that you are induced with a group of other people and that they have other people to interview. I'm worried that they have forgotten. Should I give them a call again?

Just call them again and nag! Sometimes staff are busy when they recieve a call and forget the conversation! :smile:

Hey, so I'm looking at my payslip from last month, and I just noticed that under payments, it says "Cust Exp Bon" with £10.69 added to my pay. This might be a stupid question (I'm still fairly new!), but what does this stand for? does everyone get this or not and if so what did I get it for? Never really noticed it the first time I looked. Thanks! :smile:

Customer Experience Bonus. It's the bonus pay you get if your store scores well with the 'secret shopper' that comes in every two weeks. If your store scores 100% in both visits per month you get £1 extra per hour worked, 50p for one 100% score and 25p per hour if it gets 90%+.

So I applied yesterday and got shortlisted this morning, this being my first time applying for next. I applied for a London branch and I'm 16, what wage would I thoroughly get if I were to get the job? And do I have a chance of getting it?

I recently got a job at Next and I picked up an extra shift in womenswear which starts an hour before the store opens. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing during this time?

P.S. Sorry if this has been answered before/is really obvious, it's my first job! :biggrin:

Congrats on the job! You'll be doing things like making sure the shop floor looks tidy and the clothes are organised properly, moving stock around, making sure there are bags behind the tills etc

As a temp I don't believe you will get a uniform allowance until you get a permanent job. This was the case for me when I was a temp a year ago. The rules might have changed but I doubt it! :/

Hello, I've been invited for a Team Assessment. I have applied for a Stockroom Assistant position, it's part time and permanent contract.

I'm just wondering what's the difference between a interview and team assessment? I'm assuming, I'll be asked to work with other people and they want to see how well I work in a team? She said the overall assessment will last around an hour or so.

I'm really nervous and I need this job. Especially, as it's a permanent contract and 16 hours a week.

EDIT: Never mind, I got the job.

It depends on how much they'll pay you, check your NEP! I'm 21 and my national minimum wage is £6.95 but I'm being paid £7.11 :smile:

Hi I've just got a temp contract for 10hrs/week and was wondering how likely it is for them to give me a permanent contract with more hours, and how can I make them more likely to give me a permanent contract.Thanks :smile:

Depends whenever a permanent contract becomes available. How long are you a temp for? Don't quote me on this, apparently after 12 months working for Next you get moved to permanent contract after they keep extending it. When I applied, I made sure it was for a permanent position as my stores quite big so I wasn't sure if they'd keep me on after the sales. I also need a job after Christmas lol.

I suppose the best thing you can do is be willing to take more shifts and make yourself known.

What is your job role?
