Coles Myer Group Interviews (5 Viewers)

[_shygirl]

I've been invited to go to a Colyes Myer interview, but I've never had a job before, and I wanna be prepared.. What if there's all old people there? =p (As in, what if I'm the only teen there?) Has anyone been to one before? (At the age of 15?)

 

[Malazn Pleasure]

im sure this thread was done before

 

[Mr Wiggle]

go find the threads about it colesmyer on the list.

and after you have done all that and still have a question unswered then ask here.

 

[Benovista]

When i went for a job at K-mart there were all different age groups but mostly 15-19 yos. You dont really need experience, just show them that you are sensible and mature and keen to work hard and learn lots! Its all about being confident. Answer all the questions as best you can.

Quick question slightly off topic, if one works at K-Mart or other places like that, full-time, in the sense that we get full hours, how many days a week/hours a week does one usually work? And then do circumstances change as in parttime/casual/fulltime worker status etc?

 

[Mr Wiggle]

full time - 38 hrs a week
- 5 days a week
- pay per hr less than casual
- 8 hrs a day
- Annual sick and holiday leave ~ 5weeks a year

pat time - A certain amount of hrs per week ( from 1 to 38 )
- shifts vary depending on need
- There is annual sick and holiday leave but less then full time people

Caual - Nothing they call you in whenever they need you

you dont exactly HAVE the job, until you sign a contract.
accept both, go to the interviews, decide then.

 

[MiuMiu]

You don't sign a contract for a casual job.

Average part-time hours are 36 paid hours a week. Only management is full-time.
