I need a PT job. Tesco don't want hard workers by the looks of it.

Take a tip from someone who has delivered employment training for 10 years

I have pointed to the EXACT reason you were not given the job - and if you say you never mentioned this in interview i will say i do NOT believe you

Tesco (as other employers) are actually looking for COMMITTED staff they can INVEST time/resource/training in (even those working in the back offices)

They are not looking to fill a "stop-gap" in your busy career

In fact, a new employee will probably cost a company more then they can return to a company within the first 6 months = if you plan to work for a company for less than 6 months you need to bury that in prime BS

you need to take employers more seriously and they will take you more seriously

Akin - good advice - do NOT include "enjoy travelling" on your CV - because they will dismiss it and let you continue "travelling" - albeit it you got to the interview with it so i guess its all good

Very good post

Definitely consider it a lucky escape. I've worked in Tesco part time whilst working fulltime, worst experience of my life.

That seems a very strange and contradictory post from my experience at working for Tesco's. Perhaps the worst employer I have worked for.


If they want to invest more in their employees than they need to pay more to stop the staff going to competitors.


And since when have Tesco's been fussy about who they recruit. A few years ago in the days of high employment they would have had to kidnap people of the streets to come and work for them.

What if the job vacancy was only temporary anyway?


If this was the case, it renders this post as drivel, to be honest
