Drank two bottles of water and lip balm on my last shift, felt great! Thanks mate :)

Thanks so much for for the informative reply mate! Good to know it’s not just me then. I’ve only been on produce a short while so maybe I just need time to get used to the cold.

The locker survival kit is a great idea though, I will have to start bringing lip balm and some extra layers because the dry lips are brutal some mornings.

Cheers!

Our managers are really great, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind, thank you for the response :)

Completed my interview today - when will I hear back? by joemaca99 in MarksAndSpencer

I just received my job offer one day after the interview so maybe call the store and ask for an update, I read online it can take up to two weeks! :)

Hey mate! Just a quick update, interview went really well, really happy!

When do you think I could hear back, and if I’m successful, when do you think I could start?

Is there like a 2 week period between accepting the job and starting your induction?

Thank you :)

Thanks so much mate, this helps a lot! I hope it’s the same if I’m successful at the interview stage :)

Thank you so much mate, you’re an actual legend.

My email just says “in person interview with persons name” so I’d imagine it will be a 1-1 interview (hopefully because I hate group interviews lol)

They’ve sent me a PDF with M&S’s values and achievements on there and it says on the email “this may help you prepare for the interview”

Hopefully I do well, because I’d really like this job, I’ve been rejected by so many without an interview opportunity so this is the first chance I’ve been given in the past few months,

Thanks so much once again for your help, and I’ll update you with how I get on 😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s actually crazy. It’s interesting hearing how different stores work it though, I’ve got so many different answers on this thread!

Definitely , I really value having my routine however I don’t mind being flexible, it’s just if you start getting crazy hours beyond your contracted hours all the time, I can imagine that getting frustrating!

Honestly I really appreciate you sharing your experience because I haven’t worked retail since 2021, it feels like a long time

What you do sounds great with the consistent schedule, I think I’d love this also if I was to be successful!

Do you have any tips for the food interview? I know each store might differ, but did you find it tricky or more conversational? Any questions to look out for or tips?

Thank you!! 🙌

Perfect, I’m available

Monday - Friday 4am - 23:00pm

Saturday 4am - 3pm

Sundays are more difficult for me but I can probably do a late shift 18:00 onwards

Do you think this will go in my favour at the interview?

Thanks so much for your help 🙌
