Hiya,

I was just wondering if anyone knew whatargos were looking for in candidates just from the application form you fill in and what if you have no previous experience and this is hoping to be your first job?

Is it better to send a cv along too?

Thanks

kissit

Yeah I think that I am going to add my CV as well because the employment section on the application form is too small to list my work history.

Any interview tips?

Do you get argos discount? Could shop after work!

It says on the application pack that you get 10% discount.

Yeah, the more info provided the better i guess. I am just worried as this is hoping to be my 1st job and because so many people apply, they might just disregard the people who are looking for their 1st job and have no employment history sucks.

I'm in the same position.

You never know though. You could try putting a CV with it but Im not sure if they'd read it if they've provided a form to fill in. Which is crap.

Anyone know if Argos do the group interview things? If so I think they'll reply to most people (depending on how many apply), and then you would just need to really impress then during the personal interview part.

yh i think i wont bother attaching a cv if they have tht application form. But they havent left you much room to add any detail about school grades so do u just put the main ones?

Yeah i read somewhere else, that they do group interviews mostly and make you design some kind of superhero or something and some maths tests.
