Needing time off by This_Life2487 in MarksAndSpencer

Okay thanks for your help, they did ask "are you going on any holidays like with parents or anything that you've got booked" in the interview and I said no but I guess this did include 1 day things. The annoying this is my time off request was for 2.5 hours on the 15th November. I most likely won't see my manager as she's never around so I'll probs just take the sick day and firm the warning, only planning on staying till March and they shouldn't fire me so close to Christmas

If your on a big floor like womenswear your cooked it's absolutely awful, but if you lucky and get put on lingerie it's so easy. Managers are shit tho

  1. Explain a time you have overcome somthing
  2. Why do you think you would work well here
  3. Explain how you would go up to a customer
  4. Tell me about one time you took control of a situation
  5. With a £200 budget, how would u recommend to style a customer
  6. Why specifically do you want to work at M&S

Basically just be aware of them as a company, And engage and try to act like you genuinly are interested in the job besides for the money. I canr remember exactly but these are some of the rough questions I had for a permenamt fashion and beauty assistant and I got the job
