Forums Forums Wirral Information Jobs - Training interviews? any one had their Morrisons one yet?

Hiya
They ask lots of questions about what you fo now and scenarios etc.
Customer care questions too.
They said cashiers are 16 hour contracts.



Just try & be relaxed you'll be fine.
What position have you applied for?

Good luck & let us know how you get on

i put check outs ,customer service and shop floor.16 hours really is that all. thats no good for me lol. its pain way every where doin part time hours, dunno how they expect ppl to live lol.i not really bothered were i work i'd work anywere lol

I think you will find that all the super markets work like that - they contract you for 16 hours so when it's quiet they don't have people doing nothing. If you can cope with the peaks and troughs then it is worth accepting 16 hour contract making it clear that you are available for more hours. My son worked for Morrisons down south for years on a part time contract but most weeks he managed to get a full week in. Obviously you only get paid 1 hours a week holiday pay.
Good Luck!

ive been on a course and have seen interview questions, all i can say is be yourself and answer honestly and youll be fine... pretty stright forward...... good luck

the course you went on via job centre, people have asked you what type of questions, can you tell them? as it may help them get some ideas...

saying that, at my interview they where questions about my job, that probably wouldn't have been on what you questions you saw, and my experiences in different situations.
quite personalised towards myself and my working week...

so i think it depends on what your doing now ie work, to what the questions are going to be...

they seamed to want to know my experiences as i work in a very busy store on checkouts and stock replenishment which is a very hard, demanding job at times..

good luck everyone, listen carefully to what they ask you ..if you don't understand the question, then ask them to explain it..

No they didn't offer me the job, they said they would get references first, and depending how long it takes to get them, they could be in touch within 2 weeks or a little longer. They are looking to start people in the Ellesmere Port and West Kirby stores for some training by the end of August or beginning of September if things are taking a bit longer.

I had to take a copy of my NINO (just used my P45) and Passport. I took photocopies and the original to save time, as they did request this, but I did see other people give originals over for copying there so they do have the facilities. The interviews take place in a back office of the JCP in Birkenhead and you are sat at the desks which the adivser interviews take place in, so there isn't too much privacy but enough to get by.

It surprised me how many others didn't take the documents requested on the interview letter with them. The staff said to these people that they cannot process their application any further without them, so DONT FORGET YOUR PAPERS!!!

I have applied for customer service, so was asked about customer service situations. And team work questions were also asked. Also how I would promote the ethos of the store. Have a look on the Morrison's website for more info on the way they work and think of examples to different scenarios which you might be asked.

Also as said previously have some questions to ask. Pay? Holidays? Training? Anything just have some ready.

Good luck to those awaiting.

thank u, you've been a great help. ive got p60, passport and birth certificate to take along with photo copies of them all.got nvq's in retail so goin to take them along to . its quite scary not had an interview in so long haha

Don't worry Happy, they were really friendly and it was not a scary experience at all. Just be relaxed and smile. Try and be confident.

My interview was at 9am, but as the JCP doesn't even open it's doors until then, we went it and were called to the back of the JCP to await, and then taken through and called by name. Only myself and one other person had even made the effort to dress smartly, I think it is important to make the effort even if it is just for a shop!

hoya yes take the photo copies and the originals with you.
as they keep the copies, but also look at the originals..

good luck & let us know how you get on..

just thought, if we are all lucky, we could end up working together..fingers crossed

Just to add about Peacocks, it's not 100% yet and if it goes ahead it will only be kids.
