Ozwin Posted 2 October 2008 Posted 2 October 2008 What's the interview process like? I hear Argos do group/team building interviews and then I've heard they do 1 on 1s. I'd prefer the latter tbh but because it's only a Christmas job I doubt they'll waste their time with hundreds of 1 on 1s.
Ashley Posted 2 October 2008 Posted 2 October 2008 My friend recently went for an interview for the one in Beaumont Leys and yes your right he said they do alot of team building things. At first he said you get put into pairs and you have to find as much out about you partner as possible then you join a big group and you tell the group about your partner he/she tells them about you. He said then you do a big group job then go off your you 1 on 1s. Hope this helps

NewquayFox Posted 2 October 2008 Posted 2 October 2008 If you think the replies for job applications are bad in Leicester try down here in Cornwall,my Son has attended loads of interviews and sent in loads of applications and the ignorant so & so`s just cant be arsed replying. He has a job now and hopefully will be employed for a while,good luck anyway. ;0)
Ozwin Posted 2 October 2008 Author Posted 2 October 2008 Ugh, standing up in front of people sounds really annoying but I suppose everyone else with be nervous too. Anyway, my mum's mate is going to put a good word in for me, so I'm hoping that will help me out.
Ozwin Posted 12 October 2008 Author Posted 12 October 2008 Got it tommorow, bit nervous as it's my first interview. I'm hoping it'll be quite chilled and relaxed.
The Blur Posted 12 October 2008 Posted 12 October 2008 Can people who contribue to this thread get a discount? I have contribued by suggesting that idea! That is if you got the job-no pressure matey!
Jack Posted 12 October 2008 Posted 12 October 2008 Got it tommorow, bit nervous as it's my first interview. I'm hoping it'll be quite chilled and relaxed. Good luck pal. I had my first one about 2 week ago, I was bricking it but after a few minutes you get used to it and you'll be sound.
purpleronnie Posted 13 October 2008 Posted 13 October 2008 Blimey all that for a temp job at Argos. My interview for project manager was a piece of piss. And that position involved being in charge over 100 people. Now I conduct the interviews . But what I learned from being interviewed is make sure you are lively and happy, no-one wants to employ someone miserable.
Ozwin Posted 13 October 2008 Author Posted 13 October 2008 Went alright, everyone was quite quiet at first but then people got into it more. I felt a bit overdressed to be honest, there were people who went in jeans and a hoody, in fact most people did. I went in a t-shirt and black smart jeans with shoes and there was one other bloke who did the same. I felt a bit out of place but then again I'm sure it lookd like I made the effort. I also asked a question at the end about chances of getting kept on, (how keen did I look) and hopefully looked quite good.
