I had a group interview at Waitrose it was pretty naff tbh, they just want to see that you dont go raving mad around other people :).

Luckily I did manage to control myself :P.

Well when I applied for a job at Waitrose, It took a couple of weeks for the first interview then about a week later I got called for a second interview for a job on customer services, but I didn't get it because you had to cross-train with the meat and Delhi counter and I didn't want to. Then a month and a bit later I got another interview for a job on Dry goods and got the job then, glad I got that one actually as customer service looks boring tbh :P.

I hope it went well. I find out on Friday, but there were a few patches where they seemed to be waiting for me to give a particular answer, or I'd answer and they'd wait for something more, so all in all I'm not sure. They set me a test at the beginning, with a blank map of the UK and a list of places which I had to plot. I think I did that quite well.

Damn I hope i get it though. They delayed announcing if I'd got it because of some shake up which is happening there at the moment. There could be 3-5 positions going for the same job I applied for, so I hope that means i have a good chance.

I'm not moaning about the one I have currently, I love it, just glad I didn't say I wanted to corss-train otherwise I would of got the c/s job and I wouldnt of liked that, especially as that one was for a wayyy smaller waitrose whereas the one I'm in now is nice and roomy and a big staff area :D.

That's a shame mate. Better luck next time. Plenty more fish in the sea as they say. It probably wasn't right for you and a better one will come.
