Interview Tomorrow @ Toys R Us

[Hyper]

Hey All,

Handed in an application form today for Toys R Us at the Metro Centre and got a phone call just before asking if I could go down tomorrow at 11 for an interview. Just wondered if any of you work at Toys R Us or have done and what it was like. Any idea on what the pay will be like as that wasnt mentioned on the application form.

Any advice for the interview baring in mind this is my first job and it will run along side college.

Thanks alot, Sam

Not worked for em but they're a big firm so @ least min wage is a no-brainer. Sock it to em

 

[Yeungster]

Never worked for them, but good luck.

Just have a thorough browse through their website, including their parent group etc, and you'll do fine!

Not sure how old you are, but national minimum wage has gone up to over £5 an hour now! Tons more than when I was a little nipper!

 

[FarFarAway]

Aye I remember getting £1.80 p/h slogging away at the fish and chip shop

 

[Danni]

Pay is normally okay, from what I've heard.

On a more practical note- what are you like with babies, children and 21 year old kids bouncing around trying to decide whether to get Fifi or Peppa Pig toys?

/me shops in that Toys R Us

I actually dont own a suit so I am just going in a smart shirt, think this will give me a disadvantage?

 

[FarFarAway]

Nah but a tie maye be worth adding

BTW: £50 M&S Black suit = best investment you'll ever make

Just wear the smartest stuff you have, there is no such thing as overdressed, it just shows them you're taking it seriously.

I always make sure i just remember to say ALL my good points inc. interests and elaborate on why they help you.

Anything above £4 an hour and I am happy, my mate who is 16 works at Ikea on the tills and gets £5.50 per hour.

Minimum wage for 16 to 17 is like £3.40 an hour, then 17 to 18 is £4.60 an hour, and finally £18 and over is just over a £5 an hour IIRC

Good luck with the interview
