    Good luck with the application angela!

    ts_aly2000, that question is completely standard and I've seen it or a version of it on every appilcation I've completed.

    Companies can't employ someone and then find out they arent entitled to work here (eg a New Zealander who has overstayed their working visa) - so it is good practice and not 'stupid' to check.

    In the case of a British person, you would tick 'yes' as you have the right to live and work in the UK.

    If it's a fulltime position i'd question whether their remuneration package complies with the national minimum wage.

    My answers would be:

    1 - 3
    2 - 4
    3 - 4
    4 - 4
    5 - 1
    6 - 4
    7 - 4
    8 - 1
    9 - 4
    10 - 4

    HOWEVER...... I just tried a fictional application and didn't meet the criteria! :rotfl: It's bad that you can't see which questions you answered wrong. The one I had most difficulty with was the "you dislike disruptions to your daily routine". I wasn't sure whether as a sales person you would expect them all the time or you would never deviate from your desire to sell. :confused: Anyway, no competition from me.
