Forums Forums Wirral Information Jobs - Training I wish Morrisons would reply...

They said in the end it was 1800 people who called in for places at the open day at Tranmere Rovers and of them, 1600 applications were received back in on time.

I heard there were 200 jobs, but later heard there were about 90 more. Not sure if that's to do with lower hours and more people etc.

I feel lucky because now I have a job, but it would be great to know whether or not I have actually been offered one by them, it has been a long process. And also if I was lucky enough, then my role can be passed on to someone else who needs a job.

yes its defo taken/taking a long time from start to finsish..
i hate waiting..feel for the people who are unemployed and waiting to hear...but saying that a few people who are unemployed have already heard they have the job...

when do you start your job sally?

No, I didn't apply for it freespirit. Don't get too down if you don't get it.

thanks , i won't, i have a job now, but really could do with getting out of the place...
day off today

I start on the 7th so not long now. Bit scared really only just had my benefits sorted and now they are going to stop them, and it won't be until the end of September before I get paid so it's all a bit worrying. Hopefully I will be able to call on family and friends and that the landlord will be a bit patient.

made up for you..
how long have you been unemployed?

only asking as about 7 years ago i was unemployed for 3 months and when i got a job
i got help ..will pm you

I was actually made redundant at the beginning of April, but have managed to get a few hours here and there temping so have just about made ends meet, only claiming JSA for a month. I will look into it though thanks for the help.

Sallybear, how long did it take for your benefits to get sorted? I've had my first interview and I signed on for the first time on that day (two weeks ago). They said it would take 2-3 weeks for the first Giro. Not sure if the quoted time is set in stone though.

i got offered the asda job today , was perfect job in admin dealing with claims etc, perfect hours 9 till 2 , but was only a 19.5 hour contract.they mustnt really listen to u in interviews as i stated im workin 25 now and am lookin for 30 hours. had to turn it down
still no word from morrisons ,any one heard from them?

Hi Littlebear, I claimed from 4th August and only just had my first payment and it was wrong (short) but had all the notifications in the post yesterday, including council tax benefit etc.

I also start work on the 7th and your housing and CTx doesn't just stop, only your JSA, it's quite complicated but the one stop shop are helpful if you ask for some advice.

its hard in retail to get 30+ hours nowadays
unless management..even then quite a lot of companys employinga few ppl doing 16 hours...
most are doing small contracts..could tax credits not have helped you?

sorry to hear you had to turn it down..

nope still nowt from morrisons either, quite a lot waiting for replys.

i know its pain ,wish they would said at my interview as i stated i wanted 30 plus as already have 25 hour contract.i get tax cedits now, would be silly to take a job with less hours than im doin now.think morrisons will prob be the same although they did say they did have 30 hour jobs wen i asked. think maybe start looking into doing somthink else other than retail !!! this morrisons waitin game is a pain isnt it

its a waste of time for you and the interviewer really if you have stated you the min hours you would be able to accept, and also builds up your hopes..

yes at Morrisons interview they asked me the min i would be able to take and wrote it down, just hoping if i am lucky enough get offered a position then it'll be with the hours i said, as i can't afford to drop hours either.

fingers crossed for us hey, but i am getting a bit stressed watching for the postman every day

Worst thing now... It's bank holiday weekend so no post
Till Tuesday. :-(

i did the same with morrisons and they wrote it down, but so did asda lol. oh no forgot bank hol, im fed up waitin, its stressing me out to . fingers crossed we here this week. thurs will be my 4 weeks. when did u have yours ? the 1st week?
