Job interview

Don't panic - a small error in the general scheme of things. I am sure others have done worse at the till.

I once went on a photoshoot for a media company and when I had finished I managed to erase the lot from the camera - it was a new camera - that's my excuse! Boy did I feel an idiot! I had to dash off and redo them all before it got dark.

Easily done posie....as one of my first bosses used to say...making mistakes are fine, as long as you learn by them. Mind you he'd give me a jolly good scowl if I made the same one again!

Well being Saturday it was busy as expected.

I made a few mistakes, the worst one Cancelling/voiding a customers WHOLE TROLLEY full of shopping by mistake. I was just trying to void 1 item that I'd double scanned by mistake. They had already packed most of it by this time as well.

Had to call line manager then had to unpack shopping & rescan the whole lot again. [very red face]

posie well done..hey! what if all us Gnetter came to your till hope you enjoy the company and hopefully new friends

Oh posie I shall be thinking of you on Saturday, I am sure you will do well, I wish it was real flowers I could send, meanwhile these will have to do

Good for you Posie...as long as you smile sweetly at the next one in the queue you will be fine!

Good luck posie, and keep smiling! If you make a mistake the customer won't mind as much if you're pleasant.
I've always enjoyed working with the public, most are lovely.

You'll be fine, posie. Just keep calm - sometimes the queues at the tills can seem daunting, but you'll soon get used to it.

I did a stint at Asda 40 years ago and still remember it as a good time in my life.

Had my induction day on Saturday which mainly consisted of watching videos then did 4hrs last night of checkout training & serving real customers!

I'm only working weekends so my next day of work is Saturday which is going to be a lot busier but I'm going to give it my best shot

Thank you everyone & thanks for the flowers newist I'll let you all know how I get on.

Well done - that is good news.

I have just read this post Posie, I am so very pleased for you as I know you have had a hard time in the past. I am sure you will love it. Best wishes

That is really good. Hopefully once there a few months you may be able to drop either the Saturday or Sunday although in theory you should be paid extra for those shifts and the extra dosh may come in useful.

So pleased for you Posie - I agree, comfy shoes and pace yourself - 10hrs (give or take) is a really long shift but over and done with in one go and will make 3 hrs on Sunday seem like a walk in the park!!! Cancel all engagements (social or otherwise) on Monday and just chill

posie

Congratulations posie you'll be fine

Well done posie

PS HQ, will you PLEASE warn us when you change things!

Good for you posie, very comfy shoes!

AnnB I thought the tips given in your post were really excellent and would be a great help to anybody who wants to be well prepared for an interview.

posie I've only just seen your post. Congratulations and good luck with your training.

That's a long shift, posie!

But well done on getting the job

Posie...congratulations...just pace yourself and you will be fine!

Well I've been offered some hours!!

Nine & three quarter hours on Sat & three hours on Sun. I've said yes but I'll be on my knees by Sat eve!!
They're going to be in touch about the 2days of training.

Just hope I'll be able to remember some of it.

Fingers crossed for you posie!

Well I survived it! It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

It was a group interview, so 6 of us altogether. Apparently they've been holding interviews all last week & this week.

Started with filling in a form, then we had to answer about 5 questions in front of each other.

Then we had to work together to build a construction approx. 6ft tall with a flag on the top using only items on the table which was a pack of photo copier paper, a roll of selotape & pot of pencils.

Will have to wait now to see if I've been successful or not.
