Waitrose Interview...Problem Though...

You will have to juggle the 3 wont you, you only have a few months left of sixth form so get that out of the way then in the summer work your normal hours plus any extra and enjoy yourself and when september comes you see if you can change the hours or just get on with it

An update:
Just had the interview, went on for about 45 mins. Had 5 interviewees (me included), started off by introducing ourselves and saying which times we would do. Then, got split into 2 groups. Had to write down and talk about what would make a good team and what makes great customer service. We had to come up with 3 each within 5 minutes.
After this, we had 'individual assessment'. This involved getting a product handed to each of us, having to sell it to the interviewers.
After this, it came to a close. I thought it was really quick for what it was and having heard how long everyone elses took! But, hopefully I did do well and will be called back for a 1-1 interview! :O

A friend of mine has just got a job with Waitrose, She didn't have to do a 1:1 interview!! So you might be lucky(hopefully) I just thought I would let you know incase the same could happen to you.

Update:
Another problem - yet again!! lol
I got a call yesterday from a mobile number, of which I don't know who it was (and still don't by using google)
He sounded like the manager from Waitrose, but didn't mention them...then asked for someone called Joe (of which was in my interview). I said I was sorry I'm not Joe, then he said oops wrong number and hang up.
Now, am I supposed to call him back asking if he got confused with the records he had?? Or am I supposed to leave it because it may not even be Waitrose?

Id leave it, and maybe call the store asking fior an update in a few days, did the caller say anything that might have said he was from waitrose
