QUESTION: Will Sainsbury's turn me down??

I have an interview at Sainsburys for the position of Trading Assistant. However, I am 16. Someone told me that you have to be 18+ to do this job and that at the interview they will immediately turn me down because of my age? Is this true? Please say it isn't because i rlly wanna work there :frown:

See what happens. Attend the hiring interview anyway. Smile.

You'll be fine as they do employ people from the age of 16.

Most jobs in big supermarkets are age resticted to 18 year old.
