It wasn't it was accounts staff not shop staff.I have failed in that online application for one of the home delivery drivers. It's just a generic application, I do remember when if you knew someone who worked for asda you were guaranteed an interview and job at the end of it.
Id love to see the morons they are going to take on there when its open.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

They don't want a teenager to be handling petty cash, wages and invoices I am sure.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Well since I started this thread and its been taken off topic I was talking about working in a shop actually and why people cant get jobs in them. See post 175donnajunkie wrote: »you are talking about one thing while everyone else is talking about something else.

the point being talked about was work experience in shops/getting a job in a shop. this is true but it was about the low skilled jobs that are most common in shops. it was not about the rare skilled jobs like the one you are talking about to do with you. both should be judged differently.Well since I started this thread and its been taken off topic I was talking about working in a shop actually and why people cant get jobs in them.

The point was that it was so easy NOT, to get a job in a shop!
There are a lot of skilled people who cant get interviews for these low skilled jobs you talk of.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
i agree its not easy to get a job anywhere. if people ridicule the requirements made of people to get a low skilled job then to say what do you expect i couldnt get a skilled job is not quite the right way of looking at it because skilled jobs and low skilled jobs are two seperate things really. people are saying it shouldnt be so hard to get one of the low skilled jobs. they arent applying that logic to the skilled jobs at a supermarket and neither should anyone else.And this thread is about AFTER THE WORK PROGRAMME!
