[rooeys2]

lol. yeah i just got an interview from big w today from the new store at top ryde, i also applied for the woolies at top ryde but i havnt got any replies back.
so did you already attend your interview for big w?

 

[gelato 123]

yeh already had my interview with them. just waiting for them to call back to say if i got the job or not

 

[gelato 123]

whens ur interview?

 

[rooeys2]

mines next thursday, i reckon you'll just to have to wait because the store is opening in late october so even if they hire you now it would be too early. also i think the reason they haven't gotten back to you yet is because the applications are still open and they probably start hiring people when all the interviews are over. good luck!

 

[gelato 123]

thanks good luck 2 u to.what position did u apply for?

 

[rooeys2]

i applied for checkout operator, how did your group interview go? I heard theres 3 activities involved, first is introducing someone, then you are given a scenario and promote a product. Did you have a short one-on-one interview at the end? oh btw how long has it been since your interview

 

[gelato 123]

the group interviews pretty easy. yeh u intoduce person next 2 u. next in a group u get a list and u have to prioritise the most important things to the least important. then u promote a product and then u answer a scenario individually. then 1 on 1 interview the interview they ask what days time u available if u have retail expereience they till u some of the rules of bigw like no facial piercings etc and thats bout it

i had my interview 2 weeks ago

 

[Striker999]

How much do u get paid at Big W?
for a 17yr/old? haha

 

[rooeys2]

if ur 17, u get about 11bucks/hour i think. hey gelato did u hear anything from them yet? i had my group interview today, the manager said if u dont hear from them in 2 weeks then u were probably unsuccessful, and they would send an email. if you are successful, they would give you a phone call in 2 weeks.

If you are promoting a product in the group interview, make sure to check what country the product was made in and if it has a expiry date! I got nailed on that one and thought it cost me the job lol. But it was just recovery so they accept anyone, no matter how shit they are. There is a ex-Jail guy that does recovery at my store so it sorta shows what types they accept. Mind you that manager who hired him served 1 month Jail time after stealing stuff on incoming stock from Pallets.. Yes my store is a little dodgy

830 people applied? You sure? The only hire around 100-250 people!

no, sorry

 

[milocole]

no, sorry

Heh?
WTF is with that pic?

Read rules please. Remember, being literate is a good thing! If you want help from others, please show them some respect. If someone asked you for help and was rude about it, would you offer them the help they wanted?

I'm not saying that I'm the champion of the English language, but at least the points that I am raising are understood.
