woohoo - ive finally got an interview

[Tripmeup]

Best of luck Matt..be confident without being cocky and let them know you have something to offer them, as well as them potentially offering you employment !

Don't forget to Smile!

I'd always be more likely to take people on (retail) if they smiled - keeps the customers happy and the team jolly.

And I don't mean this kind of smile.

Good luck.

.....Any news?

[veggiechicken]

I haven't had it yet - it's at 6 tonight

.....Any news?

We have to be patient..........

[Matt94]

Don't worry you lot will be some of the first to know the 'result'! - after my family of course .
I'm going to start getting ready at 4 - so you may not hear from me for a few hours

[veggiechicken]

Have you looked up Morrisons in the web for background knowledge Matt? How many stores, geographical spread, when did it start, take over of Safeway etc,.......
Here Matt - try this from Wiki doodah. Its an overview of the company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrisons

[Matt94]

Yep started 100 years ago in Bradford market as a egg and butter merchant, now the 4th largest retailer in UK, has 375 stores in total - prides itself on 'good value for money products' and customer service ect

[veggiechicken]

Good man - you must have written the article although its says there are 479 branches!

[Matt94]

Good man - you must have written the article although its says there are 479 branches!

On the morrisons careers about us page it says 375?

[veggiechicken]

And this one says over 455 Our Stores - Morrisons
If you say "more than 400" you'd be safe!!

[Matt94]

Well I think it went well, it was for a 10 hour check-out assistant - she said she had interviewed today and will also be interviewing tomorrow and will let me know whether or not I've got the job on Monday - so I've got to wait a little while longer yet.

But my hopes are high as I went in a suit, whereas the lads before and after me didn't and whereas I could work anytime the lad before me couldn't and she had to keep telling him to calm down!

[veggiechicken]

Well done Matt - you gave the right impression by looking respectable and being available.
Fingers crossed until Monday

[mothhawk]

Good for you Matt - first appearances are the most important bit of the interview - if they don't like how you look, they won't hear what you say.

[Florence Fennel]

I may have to stop on-line shopping and go back to More Reasons if you get the job, especially if it's the Hillsborough store Matt. Positive thoughts for you young man, positive thoughts

[Aberdeenplotter]

This is Friday. Any word how Matt got on?
