Interview tommorow for lidl, any tips?

[Buffman]

Hey I have an interview for working as a store assistant in lidl tommorow, any tips on questions they'll have / qualities they'll like?

I'm gonna say hardworking, reliable, team worker etc but they're all kinda obvious

 

[Buffman]

Had any interview before?

Nope

 

[Buffman]

OP, ignore this, it's nonsense.

Be honest, talk to them in the same manner they talk to you, get your point across and ask questions. If you're not sure about something, ask for clarification.

You'll be fine. Good luck

...Its a big no-no to ask how much you get payed at an interview right? (my mum suggested it)

 

[Buffman]

I dont intend to try negotiate pay that would be pretty stupid even for me . I just dont know how much it is (although at the same time it isn't really that big a deal to me.. higher than £4.83/hour would be very nice though)

 

[Buffman]

have an example of teamworking.

also wear what you feel comfortable, i probably wouldnt go in a suit and tie but a shirt and smart trousers should fit the bill.

Tis what Im doing

My step mum used to work in Lidl, and she was expected to work crazy hours. Quite hard going too.

Or was it Aldi?

Well I did say I was willing to work 11-20 + do any overtime so maybe I have bent myself over to them.

Just say you are prepared to multi-task.

Last time I went into Lidl the girl on the checkout (the only one at the time) was filling shelves, moving their big hoover around the floor doing cleaning, and then started running back to the till when the next customer wanted to pay for their goods. Once that customer went and there was no one in the queue she immediately went back to filling shelves and hoovering again. Times that by eight hours and you will certainly earn your £7 an hour.

Good luck, hope it isn't a career move for you though.

Yeah Im aware it'll be a lot of multitasking, although I imagine being that busy will make the time go faster . It isnt a career for me, currently at uni so basically beer money and a lot of it , or money to move out etc.

Arghhh was gonna wear a white shirt but that managed to get a mark in it when being ironed D=. Will be wearing a grey/white shirt now . Doubt it'll make much difference though.

 

[Buffman]

Grow boobs. I hear they prefer to hire checkout assistants with "assets".

Well I do have a large chest

Anyway just back from the interview and they where just asking about hours I was willing to work, told me it was a hard shift etc. Hopefully they'll phone back tomorrow when their store manager comes and give me a job .

 

[Buffman]

How long should you wait for an interviewer to get back before writing it off? I guess they might be checking my references (school/uni) but it'll be 2 weeks come monday

Edit:
Didnt get the job, I guess someone who was willing to do more hours came along and robbed it off me .
