So, i've got a job interview at 3 in Morrisons in Devizes. It's shit but at least im getting off my fat arse and trying.

Just a few questions for anybody who knows..

Should i wear a suit to an interview in a supermarket?
How long before i would know if i got/haven't got the job?
How do i sit when i get into the room?

Sounds stupid but i haven't got a clue.

If it were me:

Yes, i'd wear a suit. You HAVE to make a good first impression, and seeing you smart and formal would appease the potential employer. At the very least wear a shirt and tie.

Companies these days are usually pretty good, and get back within at least a week. They normally phone if you have the job or have progressed to the next level of interview, or send a letter if you have been unlucky in your application.

And in the actual interview, try and sit upright and make as much eye contact as possible - but not too much so its verging on scary (if you know what i mean?). Try and be positive and fluent in your responses, and just genereally be confident. Got me my last part-time job, although i am now a student/bum of course!

Just dress smart.
They should tell you at the interview, if not then ask them.
In a chair.

Crispy, if you've got a suit wear it, as it will make it look like you've made an effort.  Failing that a shirt and trousers.  Don't wear your Swindon top and jeans!

Ask at the end of the interview when you will find out, they should be able to give you an idea.  It will probably depend on how many people they are interviewing and when the last interview is.

Don't slouch in your seat, don't cross your arms (makes you look defensive) and keep decent eye contact with the
interviewer.

GOOD LUCK!  :)

They employed DMR so they'll employ anyone.

Cheers guys.

Good post.....unless the interviewer has a big mole on his nose which would mean maybe not making to much eye contact.
Look smart but be yourself....if they dont like that fuck em.

If they ask what your interests are don't mention drinking or the EDL

Okay ;)

Know a little bit about them (other than that it's a supermarket!) before you go in.

Wear the suit, don't slouch, if you're a bit nervous, say so. It will show you're actually bothered about getting the job.

Video the whole thing on the camera phone and post it on here later  :)

I actually will. I'll put on phone on record in my pocket if i remember.

turn the phone off.
and dont go in with the attitude that it's a shit job.

and polish your shoes. Also answer the question they ask, not the question you want them to ask. Keep your answers precise and to the point - don't go off at tangents otherwise you'll start stitching yourself up - ie I'm a drunken cunt who think the EDL are ace and all Scummers should be castrated slowly - particularly if they are Muslims. If you don't know the answer, say so and ask if you can come back to it later on. Good luck.

It's a supermarket job FFS. As long as you can speak coherent English and take instruction, you'll get the job.

I hope they give you saturday shifts 9-5

Stop you getting arrested then ;)

Remember, if you dont really want the job then try a wee dab of speed

why the fuck would you ever want to work saturdays?

I got rejected by Waitrose at the interview stage.

so I won't give any advice

Did you show a poor understanding of the different types of olives?

Went quite well, told her saturdays were a no-no and she didn't mind!!

That's good. So long as she doesn't come back and say Sundays - Fridays are a no-no too.  :)

Monday mornings can fuck right off also!

I use Morrisons in Devizes! What department Crispy??

Since im only 16 it's only going to be a trolly boy or shelf stacking in grocerys!   :clap:

Customer service :D

When I left school I got a job in a supermarket warehouse....went to the back door, asked a fella if they had any jobs, he nodded in the affirmative and started next day.  They didn't like me being on the shop floor though due to my long hair....

crispy at the end of the interview they will ask you if you have any questions for them, ask one or two, this shows you are not a dick and have been paying attention

Here's a good one to use....name the 3 ex STFC managers to have won the League title as a player?

And ask them what their favourite cheese is.
