    I know what you mean. I think these team building, roleplay assessment exercises are just stupid, and totally unnecessary. They should go back to the good old days of just attending a straightforward interview with the manager.

    can someone tell me how long each shift is, if they are set times (ie 10-4 etc)

    ive printed off a application form and ticked that i can work all day sat, wed/thurs mornig and afternoons and sunday mornings, but then it asks how many hours i can work per week. i could also work evenings if i knew what time that shift finished...

    it is, i always thought that it would be more scary to sit down with the manager and have a one to one interview, but now to be honest i think i'd much rather do that then these team building activities, i mean its not exactly going to let me be able to show my good qualities and why i'm right for the job by designing a poster etc.
