Magic Event. Interview Assessment day: We all assembled in the training room & after handing in our 'right to work' documents & writing our names on a card we were assigned to find out information about the person next to us to then inform the rest of the group, rather than just introduce ourselves. Questions included personal information, why they wanted to work for Asda, hobbies & interests & if they were sent to a desert island, who they would take with them.
We were then split into groups and given an item to prepare a jingle for. Extra points for singing. : ) We all then had to complete a form to inform them what departments we were and were not interested in working in. What times and days,we were available to work and what was our prefered department. Also, incase we were chosen we filled in a uniform size form.
Then, in our groups, we were given 3 items to go and look for on the shop floor. We just had to write down the aisle we found it in and it's price.
The session lasted 1 and a half hours. It didn't include a short interview or a 'have a go session' as they had had a big response & there were 5 sessions taking place on this day.
If successful, we would be called back for an interview & a 'have a go' session in a few days. Or receive an e-mail to say we were successful, but would be put on a waiting list for 6 months until something suitable arises, or to say we hadn't been successful.
