your best bet is to print off about 50CV's and walk down. Selfridges usually have loads of random vacancies. and Topshop/man because of their size will probably have a couple as well.
Next pay £5.94 to over 18s, or at least that's what I got when I left in April!

possibly but you will work a lot harder for what will prob be about 15p an hour more.

Is that in London? If higher the zone, does it mean bigger the store?

london zones, zone1 stores will be very central london therefore probably biggest but also most defo the busiest! therefore the higher pay is justified

Does anyone know if next offer a sunday premium? If so, how much, one and half pay? Ive been offered a temp job there today and the lady was interest in me taking a permanent part-time job there too. However, ive got an interview with another clothes shop (pretty sure i'll get it, substantial experience, etc) and id reckon id prefer it there, but it'll be less pay and they wont offer sunday premium :mad:
Confussed now :confused:

Lol well some interview, lol it was pretty much turn up, fill in some paperwork, and you got it. There were quite a few people there at the time, and i think everyone got offered the temp job (its only a day or 2 but with prospects for overtime).

The lady doing went over the forms individually with people in at a desk in the room, so you could over-hear what was being said, but when looking over mine she asked if id consider applying for permanent saying there's a position which i may well be able to take (part-time). No one else got offered it, so i guess its down to experience. I previously worked 2 years part time at John Lewis. A few of the girls i was chatting to there had no experience what so ever though and got offered temp, so wouldnt worry if you havnt worked before.

However, ive got another interview on wed for another job lol. Oh that reminds me, this shop sells designer clothes, G-Star Raw, Bench, etc and the employees wear whatever they want e.g. jeans and tee, so what should i wear to the interview? Stylish kinda jeans, tee, or suit? Or maybe just shirt and trousers?

I think you get time and a half for working a Sunday. I rarely work Sundays because they are awful to work, but Im pretty sure there is a Sunday premium. I would check with the store though.

I work in a a small store (one of the smallest I think!) so that explains my crap pay compared to the rest of you!

you wont get a sunday premium if working Sundays is in your contract

i work the next down oxford street and the pay is 6.83 for 18's and over and plus there are month bonus's :smile:

working on sunday at next will give you a lot more money than working on a normal day

maybe not like on a bank holiday or something like that
