Do they email you that you were unsuccessful?
Do you mean unsuccessful application or group assessment evening?
If unsuccessful application I'm not sure, there might be too many to reply to all, they contacted me within a week to invite me to the assessment evening.

If you mean unsuccessful assessment evening then yes they contact everyone, usually the next day to invite a few back.

Would they take on a 16 year old who is still in school, so only able to work weekends and in the late evening?
I've had an interview and was invited back for a work trial a week ago today.
They said to check my email but I don't think they said when they'll let me know by.
So does anyone know how long they take to get back to you, and if they let you know if you're both successful and unsuccessful after 2nd interview/work trial?

Hello,
I work for Pets at Home so hope I can help :smile: After the group meeting, we are all contacted the next day, successful or not and invited to the work trial/interview. After the work trial/interview,( which was on a Wednesday) they said they would let me know by the end of the weekend) It may be that your store is just taking a little longer or that there were more work trials to get through first? How many people were at your group meeting? They should get back to you whether you've been successful or not, and hopefully soon! (it may not be email by the way, they phoned me so keep a listen out) :smile:

Hi, I've got a group assessment this sunday and unfortunately that is my 18th birthday. I had arranged to go out for a meal with my family at the time of the assessment so was hoping for some advice - would you try and rearrange the interview or would you rearrange other plans.I don't want to ruin my chances of getting the job, but at the same time I'd like to be able to enjoy my 18th? Thanks :smile:
phone them and ask if it's possible to reschedule, but say that if it's too much trouble that you will re arrange your plans.
they should understand as it's your birthday, but if they don't seem to like it then you might have to change your plans.
talking about Pets at home, does anyone know how much the starting pay is? and does it increase?

That's what I was wondering. I'm 16 (currently in college) and I applied online yesterday. I was also wondering how long it takes for them to respond to your application?
I've got a pets at home interview today, I am super super nervous but hoping my enthusiasm will prevail. I can't even explain how much I want this job! :smile:

I filled in the application form, sent it off at like 10pm and got an email saying I hadn't been successful at 9am the next day. Not sure if they even bothered to read my application.

Lucky you! Would the pay for under 18's be lower than £6.40? Also, when did you get a response from your application?
