    The Woolworths Thread

    Sorry, is that directed towards me? And as far as group certificates go, I don't work at Woolworths anymore so shouldn't they post it out to me?

    The Woolworths Thread

    Is this the site? http://www.sdasa.asn.au/default.htm I can't see an 'Awards' section anywhere. Could you please help me out? Thanks. EDIT: Actually, I'm on the SA site which would explain why I don't see what you see.

    Also, what would signing a stat dec involve?

    The Woolworths Thread

    How do I check out the EBA? I don't have any sick leave. Also, you say it's only two weeks. You will probably think I'm an idiot now but I haven't even been there two weeks. Well I have been with Woolworths a little longer than that but I've only done two actual shifts in the store. Also...

    The Woolworths Thread

    I called up my store and asked them what the process for resigning is. They said I had to write a letter and give two weeks notice, stating when and why I plan to leave. There's no way around this is there? The thing I don't like about it is that my department manager is a prick and he will...

    Part Time vs. Casual

    I agree with you completely. I have a full-time job so I'd rather be casual for a second job and only get paid for working. My main reasons are points b and c. I don't want to give notice to quit.

    The Woolworths Thread

    Does anyone know if it's possible or easy to change jobs at Woolworths? I desperately wanted to work as a service cashier but I couldn't because I work full-time somewhere else. The only job they would let me do was nightfill so I took it. Anyway, I am having issues with my full-time employer...

    Part Time vs. Casual

    Apparently my new job with Woolworths is part time. To be honest I'd rather be casual because of the higher rate. Less shifts would work better for me too since this is a secondary job.

    The Woolworths Thread

    So they never even sent you an unsuccessful email or something? Maybe you should email them and ask them if they have received your applications. What positions have you been applying for?

    The Woolworths Thread

    Well I went to the induction today so I guess I'm a Woolworths employee now! The induction was very informative and detailed. However, I have never worked in a supermarket in my life so I don't know what to expect. I hope I made the right decision in joining the Fresh Food People. Oh, and...

    What makes your work a good or bad place to be?

    That reminds me of a story I heard about people placing bets on what time someone would fall asleep. (long before I was there)

    Part Time vs. Casual

    I know this is Part Time vs. Casual but I'd like to discuss Full-Time vs. Casual in this same topic, as there are similarities which I will discuss. As far as Part Time vs. Casual goes, if it was something like Woolworths or Coles I'd probably prefer to be casual. I worked casual in an...

    Bullsh!t your Resume

    That's good. I really believe an honest resume is the best way to go. There are plenty of entry level jobs around (ie. Woolworths, Coles) and if you don't like those you could always use them to give yourself a boost and find a different career path in the future. I wouldn't risk lying on my...

    Are checkouts that bad?

    I have never worked on a checkout before but it is something I would really like to try out. Unfortunately Woolworths would not let me do it because they couldn't roster me around my availability (I work full-time elsewhere). They said if I wasn't willing to sacrifice my current job then they...

    The Woolworths Thread

    Oh yeah, and since we're in the Woolworths thread, I got offered a nightfill job. I have to go to an induction first but I don't know if I should do the job or not because it could be exhausting.

    The Woolworths Thread

    :confused: Is that just a guess or is it accurate? In any case, that's more than I get so I consider that to be pretty good.

    The Woolworths Thread

    Just out of interest does anyone know how department/store manager positions pay? I mean, would it be a worthwhile career as far as making a living goes?
