Hi - Does anyone know what sort of salary a Customer Assistant receives at M&S? Have applied and got initial interview but no idea what the salary is.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks

Permanant staff get paid monthly on the 10th,temps get paid weekly every tuesday.

Hi Tickle,
Thanks for the info - I'm a bit disappointed as I'm sure my young godson said he was on about £10 p.h. but then, he's in Greater London area, so I guess it's different from the rural stores.
Never mind - any port in a storm.

I Too have an interview for M&S on Monday for a job. Can anyone help me out more who has been recently for an interview/ accessment.Is it alway the role play thing ? what else do they ask you ? and when they ask you do you have any questions what would you ask ?
I can never think of anything to ask. and it sounds bad just to say no i have no questions to ask ?

It is a mistake NOT to ask questions because it gets the monkey off your back - and if you are lucky they will go on ith their reply for ages, and you can learn more and reLAX a bit! A good questions to ask might be (provided they haven't already told you, so concentrate) are - what development opportunities are there at m&s? Or how do you assess my work?
Do we have staff meetings and what is covered?

How did you get on and what did you have to do? Did they ask you anything. I have an interview next week for my local M&S:D

OH MY GOD....
Nightmare...there was the role play. i was in the interview room and the guy left and the accessor came in and then a girl who was obviously playing the role of customer. she didnt even introduce herself or say hello - but launched straight in to the "do you work here"? ( part of the role play ) I was flustered for the whole assessment - she kept saying but i am on a budget and i am a veg so couldnt eat that etc. ( from the cards for the task.but it was a permanent role and she said they had a lot of recruitment assessments to do and it would be a few weeks before I hear.
Dont think its worth all that crap for m & s

Mine isn't till Thursday, but I might not go now as it is when I am in work, so that would be difficult to get away, and I applied for a job with Debenhams last week as we have a new one opening up here, and when I got home from work today there was a message on my phone to call them for a telephone interview, so I think I might go for that instead as it is a weekend nad evening job, which is what I want.
