[cleveland]

Im currently going for a job with safeway aswell. I had my Group Assesment last week, and i got a call from the ladie that was doing it and now i've got an interveiw with her and the Store Manager next week.

What sort of role are you applying for?

 

[weagles_fan]

If you can't get a job with them just give up now you're life is over.

 

[carntheroos4eva]

Just got a call then and I have a second interview

Well done. Congrats.

Get your mind out of the gutter. We are talking about supermarkets, not sex.

LOL... Very true. If you are at uni studying do yourself a favour and find a part time job in the industry, supermarkets = bad for the spirit.

LOL, good luck, it was good to see some initiative, get some info and help you secure a job. I have interviewed plenty of people for jobs and some of them don't even know what they are applying for.

Hope you realise that the costs required for keeping a car are much more than the price tag would suggest. I'm 22, I've lived quite easily without a car thus far. Not saying you don't need one I'm just saying have a good think about it first.

I don't count Alchohol in the category of crap

have fun at the induction! god they are boring. Ive been doing nightfill at safeway for 3 years now you'll come to find they are real bastards as far as the area & store managers go, same rules apply as in high school with their uniforms too

good luck, I started off the same as you wanting to save for a car, now I got a new XR6

I was warned before i got my first car how expensive it was, but it hasn't been the case at all. I'm 20 so ive had my car for 2 years and the convenience of being able to drive to work and uni and to wherever i want to go whenever i want to go, is a worthwhile investment. If i had to take public transport to uni, it would take 3 hours instead of my drive time of 50 mins, and more than double the time to go to work as well. I have a part time job, and because I live at home for free it is relatively easy for me to afford $60 in petrol per week and the expense of registration, insurance and the odd service. I admit that I do spend a bit of money going out and I like to go shopping, but with a part time job and some money smarts you'll be right.

What sort of clothes do you wear to this group assesment thing? My little brother has one soon, and he's been asking me if he should go the whole 'shirt and tie route' but since I've never been to one I'm not sure.

 

[nick_savo]

I wore black pants, black shoes and just collared shirt, nothing too fancy, just neat and presentable

Ive been doing nightfill at safeway for 3 years

I was thinking about applying for that, how much do you get paid for doing Nightfill?

casual rates are about $20 an hour if your over 21 or about $17 if your under 21, & after midnight its +30% ontop of that

Congratulations and Good luck.
I worked full time at Safeway for nearly 9 years in store performing various roles including storeman, checkout chick, order writer, grocery manager the list goes on.
I have made life long friendships through this job and still have a lot of friends who work there ( i have been out over 7 years now).
If you can survive the customers and management cutting hours by the bucketloads so they can meet their bonus requirements you should have a long and successfull career.

I've worked in a Supermarket for almost 3 years. I was built for this sort of work.
