time to pretend
i remember getting an email a few months after applying online, and the email said for me to do some online tests, which i did.
about a month (maybe a bit more???) after that, i got an email asking to come in for a group interview for christmas/summer positions. went to group interview, it sucked, didnt get the job. (this was last year)
earlier this year i got the same email asking to do the tests then after i did them, got an email to go to another group interview. didnt end up going to the group interview as i fell asleep that afternoon and my mum forget about it and didnt wake me up.
but all was good as i got a job elsewhere a few weeks later.
and also, every 6weeks or three months, you will get an email asking if you still want your application to be on the site thingo, and you will get a link to go and renew it, so you dont have to keep on filling in more online applications.

i sent my application in at the start of december (dec 1st) and did the online test the day after. they sent an email soon after saying i was unsuccessful which was gh3y, i don't think there was a good enough demand in my area. which is a shame because i pwned the online test.

I have seen the online test before, but I didn't get prompts to do it and couldn't find it on the site. Do you do this after you fill out the app? Or only when you get offered a position?
Yeah, I think my area doesn't need people

ive recently received a letter by them saying dont apply here again until a year later...i know im not that popular but jeez...
colesmyer is bullshit. They do that entire process as if it gives them better employees in the end. Today at the supermarket, the guy kept trying to shove lettuce into a bag that was full and was practically destroying it. I had to tell him to stop. Coles really doesn't get the brightest people.
Look in the paper and apply for anything in there; at least you've got a chance at a job in the near future, rather than waiting months for an average job.

I got an email today to do the test. What exactly do they test? Is it IQ test related? Give me an example if you're able. Thanks
Oh, and what are they like with the relocating type thing. As in if you get a job but move, do they organise a job for you in your new location?
There's a demographic test first... which is non- compulsory, where they ask what ethnicity you are and things like that. Then a cognitive ability test- which is slightly more difficult, like IQ tests- within a time limit... questions like "which two of these objects do not belong with the others?", and then a job preference test... just a series of multiple choice between two, like which would you prefer- growing the flowers in a garden, or marketing and selling the flowers to customers?
It's okay, before you do the test there are very clear instructions and initial practise questions.

I think you need to be with your CML store for a year before you can move.

I got an email saying that because I failed the group interview, I could not apply for a position for another year.
Cut a long story shorty, the next week I got an email from them telling me to apply at my Coles, and alas I now have a job there.
So much for the "You can't apply for another year".
I think it's just to see how eager/enthusiastic you are for a job and whether you will apply within the year...or they could just suck. Probably the latter...:uhhuh:
Hi Alicia. From my personal experiences, it took them around 2-3 days for an initial response. Then a few days later I attended a Group Interview. I was then subsequently approved, but had to wait around a month before they found a suitable position for me. I then attended a line manager/store manager interview and got the job.
To maximise your chances of selection (regardless of work experience), make sure to put down many suburbs, as many brands as possible and have your availability as high as possible (24/7 always best, of course).
Hope this helped.

on another note..
coles myer DO check references.
so in case you plan to put in a fake reference just so you fill in the requirements of the online application, make sure the other person knows about it
