What does an online assistant do at Sainsbury’s?

Original post by Arche

I have a interview soon do I’m 17 do you think I can tell them that I wanna work from 6-10 because of my age

I guess you could try and see what they say... I work 6-10 and it’s probably the best shift

On the website is say the shift is from 0200 to 0600 but at the interview can I ask them to change it? Also what did you do

The interview was in 2 parts, the first one was just personal info so stuff like right to work and that. The second part was the actual interview. They asked me “Tell me about yourself” “Define costumer service” “Explain a situation where you showed team work skills” “What makes you suitable for this job”. :smile:

How did you answer the questions

How did you answer the questions "Tell me about yourself" and "What makes you suitable for this job"? I have an interview in two days and I just want to make sure I know what to say if they end up asking me these questions.

For the Tell me about yourself question I talked about me being a full time student, what Im studying, what I wanna do in the future, what I was doing before this job (previous work? volunteering? nothing?) and why I want the job.

For the ‘what makes you suitable’ one I just waffled on about me having great team working skills and adaptability ( just choose some job skills u want💀) and said stuff like making sure the quality of food for the customer would be what I would want myself etc...

They’re fairly straightforward questions but don’t worry about them... I had no clue what I applied for when I was at my interview (obvs did a lil research but didn’t know what it would actually look like).
Let me know if you need any more help and good luck! :smile:

Thank you so much this really helped I feel a bit more confident now☺️. When talking about the future and being a full time student is it wise to talk about school and university? I thought talking about wanting to further education was off putting for some employers as they would want you to work for a long time but I have no plans to do that

You probably shouldn’t go too much in depth... I just said I’m a full time sixth form student, studying XY and Z, hoping to study X at uni. Just a quick mention of it is fine 😊

Ngl I don’t think they’d accept only because you’re still16 but still give it a try. They probably will accept u but just not for this role

Is there an opportunity to work double shifts on one day? I have uni on Mondays (online) and Tuesdays (face to face) but would still like to work the 20hr shifts
