Argos Christmas temp jobs...

  • Had my first shift today, in the stockroom. My feet hurt! I can see how it could very very easily get very very manic in the lead-up to Christmas. I'm almost certain to lose a few lbs in this job!

    Btw, the rate of pay at my store is £6.72 - quite a way above minimum wage.

    That's more than we've been told for our store!

    I'm in a London store, so not sure if that would make a difference.
  • Hi, I've been reading through the forums, especially this thread since I was an applicant to Argos for the temporary christmas positions :p

    Anyway I sent my application in sometime in Argos, and I thought I wouldn't be invited to an interview since I only just got a phone call today (inviting me to one) I went to the interview, thinking it would be a group one but it ended up being a one to one interview. She asked me a few questions like a bit about my self, what good customer service is etc and I was offered a position. I've got the induction tomorrow at 10:00 so I'll see how it goes from there :D

    Thanks for the advice guys :) :rotfl:

    For anyone wondering, the one I applied to was in West Yorkshire

    Well I actually got a call from them yesterday... which is a long time since I handed in my application form.
  • Hi there

    Had interview yesterday evening for xmas temp staff and had a call at 9am this morning advising me i got the job whoop and my induction is on wednesday

    Just a quick question, I said i can work anyday, as my induction is on a wednesday does this normally mean i will be mid-week staff and not just weekend,

    Thanks

  • Hello,
    I handed in an aplication for argos xmas temps today. I put my hours avail for work between 20-30 p/week, if this is to many hours are they likely to turn me down?

    Thanks,
    Aleck
  • Does anyone know if they are taking staff on just for weekend work?
