Oh don't be, don't be, I probably got it wrong. I was too busy trying to be calm.
I went for part-time, hm, maybe it's just the people on my leg of the interviews that'll find out on that day. I hope they give me good news, I'd be finding out two days before my 18th, so HARF, I'd be elligable for proper-human wages

Haha too late now, I'm worrying because I really want this job + I don't want to turn up a week late. I think I might phone the chick and confirm!

If it's Lee Brown, she's a really very nice lady

yeah it is, she seems so, well she has whenever I've spoken to her on the phone that is

One question, how many people were there interviewing the group?

earmuffin · 18th July 2005, 01:17 PM

Two ladies, and they take all of you (there were 5 other hopefuls at mine) in at once for about an hour, there is some role-playing of being customers and employees, and they see how you deal with putting products on strangers. They then interview you one at a time, and there are no real trick questions.
the only snag is, it's on the 10th floor of the overgate... not lots of fun if you take the stairs

Shite, I shouldn't be helping you, you'll be better than I was

haha it's cool. I knew most of that already because I know people that work for lush and I've spoken to avril about it too

I wouldn't worry about me being better I'm extremely good at cocking up interviews.

not until your 21, but most employers think thats either too much hassle or simply don't know that fact. your only entitled to £4.85 an hour if your 21+. seriously. but like i say, everyone gets it anyway.

Fuck that shit. Bloody role-playing bullshit, people hiring based on a check-list, it's all fucked up.

I just had my interview a couple of hours ago...

... 100% interview success rate remains!! Oh yeah! I start wednesday, full-time. Also - the chick interviewing me lives directly across the road from me, she said there shoudln't be any problem with here giving me lifts! Yay!

DissolveD_JameS · 18th July 2005, 02:48 PM

Oh yeah... and apparently I get free unlimited use of the health club, including sauna, spa, pool, gym etc. Not that I plan on using it, it's just cool. I could leave my laundry in the sauna to give it a steam clean or something.

earmuffin · 18th July 2005, 03:08 PM

congratulations, DissolveD_JameS

Why don't more interviewers tell you on the spot?

I bet you wish you were working for Lush though. With its many a product with names such as 'ShimmyShimmy' Iridescent Massage Bar, 'Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds' Bath Bar, and my personal favourite; 'Sonic Death Monkey' Shower Gel

I did such an ace job at the interview she asked if the job was good enough for me.

Yeah working at this "Lush" place doesn't sound too bad - what do they call the dildos?
