Run. Run like the wind. Wetherspoons isn't a fun place to work.

They hire most people they don't really care. Also the manager is unlikely to be fluent in English so what you say doesn't matter as long as it's positive.

How on earth did anybody actually get to the online tests and interview stages?
I've been rejected 6 times now and counting just from the online application, no tests. I have bar staff experience - and I heard from people they prefer those with no experience. So, I've sent in bar staff applications, floor staff applications - some with my experience listed, others blank, and I've had the auto rejection email every time. I'm starting to wonder if they go by postcodes, only posh areas or something ridiculous? There's honestly nothing on my application that should prevent me getting to the online tests at least.

What did those of you who got to interview write for your application? :s-smilie:
