Has anyone heard back about Birmingham yet? 😩 I've heard that a few people had rejections through but apart from that, nothing else, I didn't think we'd actually have to wait all three weeks! 😓 Would love to know now or not, save my everyday part time job search!

Hey sorry to hear about the rejection, all the best for your future job search. Was wondering what date did you recieve this on? As a few others recieved it for a specific interview time and date. Thanks :smile:

Hi everyone... I currently work at Waitrose and will be transferring to my local John Lewis at the end of the month. However, I have been told that John Lewis only do time banking and not over time? Is this true or??? Just as I would like to do extra hours in the summer and holidays.

Thanks :smile:

Sorry to hear that! Are you working someplace else? That would make a lot of sense I guess, the interviews aren't even finished yet are they? 3 weeks seems such a long time! X

Definitely, me too! It's so difficult, feels like ages! I'm sure I could've done a lot better in the interview sessions!

Same! Hopefully we should hear back by the end of this week or the start of next week though!

I've got my interview tomorrow in Birmingham. Just wondering whereabouts at Aston Uni the interview is taking plac? As I've never been there before. The Right to Work thing bothers me a bit as I had to renew my passport and have not received it yet, and I know my National Insurance Number but haven't got the actual card.

Hey, you can get a map view from your job application online when you click on aston conference centre. My passport needed renewal too so i gave my old passport, birth certificate (red and white paper), the letter which came with the NI card and the card itself. Have a look at their reminded email you might have something from option B instead.

Did any one attend a group assessment on 03 June `15 (12:55)? That was a Wednesday.

I know that after reading this some people have heard, but I'm still waiting for a response and wondered if anyone from my group have heard anything either way...

Hi I didn't attend the 12:55, but I did attend the 9:25, so did mine a few hours previous to you. I haven't heard a thing either! But I have heard that some people who were in the session after me (9:55) had received a rejection the next day. So I would assume that we are in the maybe/yes pile, and they are waiting till they finish the interviews for numbers and then we'll be reconsidered with regard to availability and shift plans etc?
