Applied for night shift at Sainsburys.Please, please PLEASE

Goodluck lol.I HATE their questionnaire./Fingers crossed Titan..

Believe, it was one of them ones where I just made myself take the time out to fill it in properly and review all options.Worse than the marks and sparks one (piss easy that is).

Congrats titan!Also, there are a good few jobs at sainsburys if you can drive for anyone interested.

If they are the same driving ones I'm thinking of, when I checked them you need to have had your license for at least 3-4 years. I was on it but I'm a year short of requirement.

Gotta interview at Sainsburys in Balham tomorrow.

good luckand when you return, beg you type up the kinda questions they asked you

Tell us about yourselfWhy do you want to work here?What do you know about Sainsburys?What would your last/longest previous employer say were your best and worst points?What pisses you off/gets on your nerves?Any questions you would like to ask?I got interviewd twice, by 2 different managers, don't know why.

Also found out today I type at 47 words per minute. Had no idea I typed that fast at all. I don't touch type though, it's a two finger per hand type thing. The interviewer looked at my results, started smiling and then laughing. I have no idea if that was good or bad.

[BlueMaco]

Who here tells porky pies on their CV?I have a lack of office experience and they are always asking for at least 6 months. Anyway they can find out if you've lied other than calling the company?My "false" experience is backed up by someone I know who owns a company and said they would give me a reference. I was wondering wether they could tell from your taxes or something :S

[Em Dott]

Lie. Most I can imagine they'll ask your previous place is if you were reliable, caused any problems and worked hard.However, don't go overboard with the lie as you will only dig your own grave eventually.

[Mr. Martinez]

Congrats Titan bruv.

FAO people looking for a new job on sites such a www.monster.co.uk especially those in a sales/comission based role. What you'll mainly find is the head hunter who trawls through Monster and the like are from agencies and they take a % of your annual wage/commision when they sign you up.A sneaky but good little trick is to create a fake CV with fake names, contacts and everything but keep your qualifications and experience the same. Bang this on your www.monster.co.uk and wait until the agency contact you.When they do they will reveal the company who you will be applying for and sometimes even the name of the main person who is looking to employ you. All you have to do now is blank off the agency with your fake details and go through to the company directly for a higher rate of pay/commision.Typed that stupidly quick and cant' be bothered to check it. Any confusion just say.
