Sports Direct

I apply it on online give them my cv it said on there website you get paid up to £6.24 that's pretty good for an hour.

You only get paid £6.24 if you've been working there for months and that's after the 3 month probationary period. Otherwise you start on minimum wage.

Right, so i have just send my cv to them and do you know how long will it take them to replies to me?

Hi, i went for an interview on friday at 5.30 for a casual sales assistant. they had 5 job spaces avaiable and 15 applicant.
Once the interview had finished, the interviewer told me that they would usually contact people within 24hours to let them know if they were succesfull or not, but because saturday and sunday are not working days, he would contact me on monday at around 5.30.
However, i waited all day anticipating a hpone call, but never recieved one. does anyone have a clue what could be happening? thanks.

Depends what you've applied for...have you just applied for the "Nationwide" Casual Sales Assistant job or is it for a new store? If its for a new store they should be in touch within a week Good luck, its got to be one of the most tedious, craply paid jobs out there, no joke!

Hey, I'd wait a bit longer if I were you, communication isn't one of Sports Direct's strong points from my experience...

I've just resigned from my job there today lol (excellent timing too, just got a phone call from my local Burton store for an interview for a weekend job yay!!!), but I resigned on the basis that their communication was crap and that I got zero clarity on when I was meant to be working.. But yeah, when I first got the job it took a week for the store manager to ring me up and say when I started, not good lol.

don't sweat if you haven't got the job, its not going to be a great loss. What you should do, and is an excellent thing to do as I've just found out, is print tons of copies of your CV and just go around all the stores you deem fit to work in in Leeds (there's a Harvey Nichols there if I'm right? go for it if you're feeling ambitious ), I know there's LOADS of shops there because I've been there a couple of times, so go for it! . It honestly works, even though I handed my CV in to Burton in June, they do keep it on file and be showing your face it shows you're determined to work!

really, but i don't care cos i never get bored of working rather then staying in home

ah right, thanks. well i live in huddersfield, and sports direct is the only real place where they would offer you a job, and this would be my first legit job, other than work expirience. i dont know where else i could get a job lol.

aah yes but at least at home you can do what you want and not have to stand around for 4 hours doing nothing :P

Aah did you do the Next Sale? Hectic or what lol

You don't actually do any work lol, that's why it's tedious and boring. Seriously, you might think 4 hours goes by in a flash, but it doesn't, seems like a whole day for me... If you're lucky and your manager is a) sound or b) a ******* who never leaves his office/never comes in (like mine) then you could spend the 4 hours chatting to your mates, but thats only is there are no supervisors around (like in my store, its new and we have no supervisors or anything, just a manager).

Seriously, the shifts are only like 4 hours, and if you're 16/17 like me, its not worth the £3.53 per hour (minimum wage).

I've been there 3 weeks, and I'm handing in my resignation this week - I've been yelled at for not being in work even though I'd booked holiday dates off a week in advance, half the people who were at the induction have left, pay is crap, I'm not actually on the staff rota so I have no shifts for this week... They're messing me around, and I'm not getting paid, so I'm off! Trouble is its going to feck up chances of me getting other jobs especially if they phone for a reference bcos the manager's never been in when i've been working...

Its up to you though, there are much better jobs out there, but if you are THAT desperate for a job and are prepared to work for very little, then go for it, at least you'll have your mates to doss around with

OMD....I start tomorrow and I think I want to leave. Lol. Have you left yet?

Monthly.
