Working at NEXT

Yeah, I bounce between every department weekly. If someone does buy a suit, there are suit carries you have to put them in - I don't know how to fold suits either so don't worry. It's genuinely rare for people to buy a full suit set. I've maybe seen 1 full-suit been sold so far. It's more common for them just to buy a suit jacket, or some suit trousers or blazer etc......

If you don't know how to fold smart men's clothes, you can ask another member of staff that's in menswear with you. I got a "Folding Masterclass" as someone politely called it.

Deleting shifts is......... kind of tricky. You can't really delete shifts. It's like an auction. You should have an option on the portal if you picked it up as an extra shift, it should allow you to "Offer Shift" or something along those lines when you click on it. That basically puts it up on the portal as an open shift that another staff member can accept. The bad part is that if no staff member accepts it before 10pm the day before the shift is, you will unfortunately have to work it. That's the downside. If you are really not wanting to do the shift, you could ask the manager but that depends on how nice your manager is.

Ahhh theres no button gonna have to suck it up or speak to one of the people to say i didnt realise but i dont wanna be that needy new girl

I made that mistake before. You're not alone there. They shouldn't judge you as the needy new girl anyway. They rather new staff speak up rather than stay quiet and "suffer" in silence so to speak. At least in my experience.

Ye tbh i will speak to them tomoz

Please give me some tips on how to get a shop at a retail chain like that, especially when you said it’s your first job. I have never got a job before, no experience at all

Anyone else rota down every time i go to check mine for the whole day it says there was an error

Does anyone know when the sale finishes as idk if i should wear my sales top Monday because apparently it lasts a few days

Sorry im not sure but going of our stock it wont be long

What do you do when you work offsite

What do u mean

so i am on the sales support team and have my induction in a few weeks. Im not sure what to expect, will they teach you how to use the tills? What sort of jobs do you do. Im nervous as its my first job. I heard you have to wear the sales tshirt can i just wear a black skirt and tuck in the tshirt. If i want to carry on working there after my role is finished do i have to re apply or will the recruit me? My manager on the phone said when i start sixthform i can do evenings.
Is it flexible times as i need to take a few days off for certain things will i be allowed. Anyone know what happens during the induction and what to expect from the people.

hi I've just started working at next and have a couple of questions

1. at the moment I am unable to view the rota or shift marketplace online, I rang and asked the manager who said I would have to clock in first. I have now done 2 shifts and still cannot see either of these on the nep. does anyone know how to fix this?

2. how long do I have to of been working at next to be able to offer shifts up on the marketplace and how far in advance/whats the earliest shift I could offer up?

3. when you view the rota on the tills what do the coloured dots mean next to the day at the top of the screen, for example Wednesday and Thursday might have red dots and Saturday might have an orange one.

4. does anyone know how easy it is to transfer stores and do you have to of worked a certain amount of shifts in order to transfer?

any help will be much appreciated
