But I don't overload the bags. I double them if I get the smallest feeling that it'll snap, I just double it before they even ask. Customers hardly ask me to double the bag, but when they do, it's pretty much impossible for it to break, unless they swing it around like crazy. That's why it gets to me.Why is double bagging such a huge problem?
I have customers that lug their groceries onto the bus/train to get home and it would be hell if I was doing that and a bag broke. Some goods have sharp corners that eventually break the bag if handled awhile longer.
It's not that hard. If they want double bags, just ask them to lift each bag up whilst you slip a bag from the bottom up. It takes an extra split second per bag if you're efficient.
When a customer starts explaining why they want a bag, just say "that's fine" *smile* and they will shut up instantly.
Seriously. Complaining about nothing.
I'd certainly hope Coles would be providing these shirts for their employees. I wouldn't go out and buy a shirt for work for one day in a month.I was reading a message on the notice board that said somethin like the last Friday of every month is going to be Camp Quality day and anyone who's working has to wear a red polo shirt instead of the normal blue shirt. Anyone else heard anything about this?
its just annoying. we know plastic bags are bad for the environment and there is no reason why two loaves of bread need to be double bagged. SERIOUSLY. Its BREAD! agh. sorry. happened twice last night. :mad1:Why is double bagging such a huge problem?

Hehe, we're not doing the Gift Card Giveaway in tassie.edit: by the way, anyone else getting the ridiculous amount of info we have to push on people for the 'great gift card giveaway' ?
I think its a good resume overall. I would take out the additional information section, and condense special achievements. Particularly the Academic Excellence/Achievment/Effort Awards - give them one name (it doesnt matter if you make it up) and put all of the dates together. Take out the reading ones, the tutoring one (as this has already been mentioned). Definitely keep perfect attendance and subject awards.Hey guys, I'm 16 years old and am looking to apply at Coles (or Safeway + Woolworths?/Officeworks). I followed a template for my resume, as attatched below; could anyone give any tips/see any errors, etc on it?
How important are referees? I saw on their online application form that it's required at the end. I don't really know anyone other than teachers because I've never actually had a paid job before, only volunteer. Even the one listed as 'Paid work' was actually through my brother who worked for the actual company.
Also how long would I expect to wait for a response or request for interview if they approve, seeing as it's midyear?
About availability, I've read heaps of people say to write down your always available, but does that mean including before school, during school hours, etc? Because I could get from school to Coles (depending which one) in under 5 minutes to over one hour.
How physical does nightfill get, would it be available at my age? Because if it's staying awake, that's no problem.... I'm somewhat of an insomniac and could easily pull allnighters on a Friday/Saturday night, it's not like I do much other than watch movies on a Friday night anyway.
p.s. I read all 33 pages because I'm bored :rofl: even though I have a SAC tomorrow.

edit: by the way, anyone else getting the ridiculous amount of info we have to push on people for the 'great gift card giveaway' ?! the mystery shopper guidelines now ask whether we've asked them for flybys, if they've signed up for the gift card giveaway, to explain the giftcard giveaway to them (what they could win, how many points they get), how they can apply etc etc seriously?! it would take at least a minute on top of a normal transaction to explain all of that to them, and because i generally work on express, there is no time to explain during the transaction, which means taking up time before i can serve the next customer (which they would not be happy with!). ugh.
Basically I applied for Woolworths, Coles and Officeworks in the same night. Each resume was further edited and customized to 1 and 1/2 pages. For Officeworks I had to fill in a different form and hand it into the store. I made the writing legible, error-free, had maximum work hours (afterschool>close on weekdays and open>close on weekends). Also I ticked the boxes which asked if I had experience in technology and also print/copy.14.06.2009
Dear Kevin,
Thank you very much for expressing your interest in working at Officeworks.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you an interview in this instance.
We thank you for your expressed interest in Officeworks and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Yours sincerely,
Just had a look at ur resume and it looks fair good - good enough to get a ptt/casual job at safeway or something. But im guessing that coles/safeway and every other store which u dont need certain skills for are going 2 be hiring from a young age to reduce their expenses.*sigh*
I just received this in the mail today...

Really bummed out about it, for the past few hours I've been searching about rejection letters, how to write up resumes, etc when I should have been studying for an exam tomorrow! Bah, why did I have to open the mail today? I haven't been contacted by Coles/Woolys yet, but I doubt I'll have a chance with those either.
There must have been something really wrong about my resume or something, seeing as I didn't even get an interview. Friends have written like 1/2 page resumes and got jobs at other places...
It is stupid, but its probably still a requirement of the unit pricing implementation.I assume every one's stores have started to roll out the new unit pricing tags? I think it's a bit silly that on the Fruit & Veg signs, which are already marked in $/kg they felt the need to add the $/100g
