Interview advice for my first job

Sorry I don't have any advice as I've never had a job interview before but maybe you could try watching mock interviews on youtube. I applied here too over a week ago and haven't heard back. So i'm wondering how long after your online application did you hear back from them and was it through email or call? Also good luck with the interview, I hope you get the job! x

Hello so i’ve got an interview for sports direct on Thursday. If anyone has had an interview there too what was it like and what type of questions did they ask? Also generally any advice for getting the job and answering the questions well?

Hey thank you i applied the day before yesterday i think and got an email about the interview today. I hope you hear back soon.

How did the interview go?

It went really well the guy said he would’ve hired me but i live too far so idek why he interviewed me in the first place. So annoying bc i’ve applied for like 25 jobs and haven’t got anything yet .

I am glad the interview itself went well, but it's horrible that you didn't get the job because of how far away you lived. That is incredibly unfair, you applied for the job so you are obviously willing to travel in so I don't see why he should have a problem with where you live as long as you are a good, reliable employee. Also, as you said, you did he interview you if her thought you lived too far away? Out of curiosity, how far away from the store do you live?

I worked at Debenhams for 6 months until the store closed down in March this year, I have done some applications since then in between other commitments but nothing has come from that. I even applied to Sports Direct for a summer casual role about 2 weeks ago and haven't had any response beyond the initial acknowledgement that they received the application. They are still accepting applications for the position so I don't know if this is why they haven't gotten back to me or if I can assume that I my application is not being taken to the next stage. How long did it take for them to get in contact with you after you submitted your application?

Sorry that this happened to you, I hope you find a job soon. xx

I live like 5 miles from that store so it took me like an hour on the bus. I thought it’s be fine too but he said i’m not flexible enough because e.g if he ever needed me to cover someone’s shift at short notice i wouldn’t get there on time. Sports direct replied to me pretty quickly i think it was 2 days but it was only that quick because they were hiring a lot of people for a new store opening. I’m in the same boat as you though, applied to loads of jobs weeks ago and not heard back from most of them. I’ve just recently started applied for carehome jobs though and have an interview tomorrow so hopefully that goes well.
