I had a similar experience with Asda - a three stage, THREE STAGE - interview process to sit on a checkout!! There was a point where we had to act out adverts for products from the store and one group had a can of dog food as their product. I should have run for the door when I saw a grown man pretending to be a dog (on all fours, barking). I hate to think of the depths people will go to during the recession to work there.

As I remember, in our school at least, they split CDT into 3 different sections - CDT, CDR and CDC (Technology, Realisation, and Communication respectively). Although the only achievement there was it created two extra subjects for all the pre-criminals we went to school with to fail.<br />VW and Jag badges. I have a feeling there wasn't a single car in Redhill around that time that had either.

I remember working in that DX store in the belfry and it involved a brief chat to make sure that I didnt have tourettes and would scare of any potential customers, a maths test to make sure that said customers didnt get so much change that I bankrupted the store and then, it being Redhill and therefore quite likely that 99% of people would have failed one or in most cases both of those challenging trials, I was offered the job.<br />Wasn't it CDT (technology) not CDR? I only remember those workshops as it was where you would drill a hole in VW or Jaguar badges to make key rings, such a fine educational establishment we attended<br />Good luck in the search for employment, if not then search out that old lady with pots of cash, after your recent experiences then becoming a plaything for a geriatric!Bennoreply@blogger.com
