How did people get jobs at Coles? Online or by visiting the store. When I go online I always see these jobs such as Deli and bakers, never cashiers. Anyone can help?

You do both, ask to see the store manager and present yourself in a neat and professional manner. Introduce yourself and ask/answer questions.
Hopefully if they're looking for people to work on service then your application may go through.
That's what I did. It demonstrates you are keen to work and they're more likely to hire a motivated person than someone who isn't.
Also, a piece of advice is to say you are free to do any role at coles and you are available at anytime. They want people who are available and are suitable for the job.

Remember, its a big company and there's thousands of applicants from what I've been told. So make yourself stand out from the rest.

Thanks a lot for the advice.

One more question: Should I bring a printed copy of my resume or just directly talk to the store manager.

**Marc26** · 7 Jan 2013, 5:19 PM

Yeah take it along definitely - even if they don't look at it.

Any idea if Coles are hiring at the moment or are there still a lot of employees left over from Christmas and not many spaces?

Coles were hiring around my area around the October and September time, not sure about now. Ask them if they are hiring.

My Coles isn't really hiring now we took a lot of people in up to December.
And it's easiest just to apply online expressing interest for all positions.

Anyone know what my chances are of getting the job at coles? I've passed the group interview and went for a one-on-one last Wednesday. The interviewer said he would reply by this Friday but I'm getting extremely worried that I won't get offered! Some people say that getting into the 2nd interview somewhat means that the job is yours but is just a formality for the recruiting process. Anyone got some experiences to share or got to the 2nd interview but didn't get the job?
