    Good luck for tonight IA. I am so chuffed with how well you've done in this short space of time.
    Look back over the last year at all of your highs and lows you are amazing!
    How long before you can clear the welcome car finance then? Can you overpay or is it a save up and pay lump sum jobby?

    Hi all I'm back :D
    Interview went really well.. was one of these group interviews but I'm quietly confident as I seemed to be the only one there who actually spoke and didn't turn up looking like they'd just walked in off the street!
    Apparently if they want usfor a one on one interview we'll hear by the end of next week.
    Wage is £5.52 and sunday premium applies :D.
    Fingers crossed!

    When I did these type of jobs for one to one interviews I always read the returns policy and statatory consumer rights, how to order the stuff in the small print / back of catalogue - if you get asked what you know about the company or what research you've done it shows you've done something and can say something about how you read the information they give to customers and how they treat customers to know how their business model works, order lead times (i.e. what they say they can do if not in stock)... bit sucky up but helps calm the nervesif you get an interview if you feel you've something to say and have prepared...

    Congratulations, it gets easier too - first one after a while always the hardest.
