Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job
The group interview tests your teamwork skills. They put you in little groups to test communication skills, for example they'll give you a situation and as a group you have to prioritise tasks, then one group member is appointed to address the whole interview with their teams decisions.
They might get you to do a reading test, where you have to match a number (eg 57328) in a multiple choice sequence. Its timed though, so the idea is to get as many correct answers as possible.
I didn't have a one on one interview, but from what I know they just ask you simple questions like "Why do you want the job?", "what is your availability?", "why did you apply for woolworths?". This stage is pretty hard to stuff up, but I know people who have. If you look presentable, and speak well, you'll be fine.
If you're successful here THEN you'll be invited to induction. As you mentioned, heaps of videos, manuals to read, etc. Once you get to an induction you have the job - its a paid training session.
I hope everything works out
Good Luck!
You're right, interviews come before inductions. Inductions go for a lot longer than 1 hour, usually 7-9 hours, so I think you'll probably just be going for an interview.Black Heart said:Hello,
After handing in my application form in 2 weeks ago, I got a phone call 2 days ago, seeing if I was still open to work there etc. She went on to say that there will be an induction on Monday, and upon reading your little thread, it looked like the induction comes after the interviews etc, so why do I get the induction first? My friend has gone through this where she went through the Induction and then the interveiws etc.
What should I actually expect from the 1 hour induction? I know it basically says that there are videos etc, but I don't want to mess up (if it's even possible to mess up), so could someone please tell me exactly what the induction is?
(I could ask my friend this stuff, but seeing as we are on school holidays and I don't have her phone number and she is never on MSN.)
And this will be my first possible job, so I don't want to mess up and stuff.
EDIT: It would be great if someone gave me some highly likely interview questions as, knowing me, I will be stumped if I make it to the interview, so a little practice now won't hurt.
