Seriously, to everyone working themselves up over Coles - DON'T. Take my word for it, I just escaped after a year and a half in their god awful clutches. Now if you're a uni student and not getting in, as most of you seem to be, it's got nothing to do with you. Pretty much all of their new employees were as close to the minimum age as you could get. Lower pay and so much easier to intimidate. And despite their massive selection procedure, half the people they hire are complete morons. The amount of people that I trained that didn't recognise veges like celery and broccoli...you don' t need to be a genius to be a checkout chick but these people were amazed when I did things like work out the change from a five dollar note. Don't worry, they go through staff at such a rate of knots that you'll be considered senior after a few months, so you'll get to train your own little batch of dimwits. Anyway I could go on for hours about the delights of working for coles myer, message me if you feel you need a little personalised discouragement

exactly, or even better you could rob coles myer. why let them rip you off when you can rip them off. or you could try getting a job that requires some sort of skill or just an equally mindless one that you need to be 18 to do

Move stock around from pallets to shelves and then off again for customers when they're needed. Its pretty similar to night fill.

 

[Ranger Stacie]

i think its so ridiculous coles myer goes to such lengths to recruit casuals. its not exactly brain surgery

 

[arooshika...]

i went for coles myer group interview, i did the test, i got 82% but i didnt pass the interview...the next day a stupid email came...gave me the shits

 

[hipsta_jess]

The results of my test were never emailed to me I'm bummed.
(well, I've done the test twice, first one was emailed to me, but not the second one, and it was the second one that got me the interview)

 

[kaitie]

I'm playing the waiting game now and am waiting for them to reply about whether I have been matched with a vacancy or not.
I'll probably be working elsewhere by the time they do.

Maybe you guys appeared far too aggressive in your interviews? I mean, if you are posting this topic full of "**** U" and whatnot, how do you think you'd react if a customer was really pissing you off? You gonna punch them in the face and tell 'em to get f'd?

Learn from ur mistakes. heck I got rejected from several places before I got a job offer. It happens so don't worry. Try to figure out why you didn't get in, and if you can't figure it out, try emailing or asking them nicely and maybe they can offer you a few pointers; but it's not an obligation to them to do so. Best wishes in future job interviews.

Has anyone here gone for a CML traineeship? From the sounds of things... I hope they don't treat their trainee applicants the same way as the christmas casuals, coz otherwise I won't be holding my breath (go penrith council go)

 

[white_spazzy]

i only got like 50 something % in that test...went to the group interview, wasnt too outgoing. then had a store interview...just answered the questions with the bullshit they like, u know "the customer is always right", "i like to work in a team", "i would like to advance my career in coles myer"...all that crap and got offered a job that afternoon. i think some people are too outgoing at the group interview...they use this to assess your interactions within a group and if ur talking over the top of people, they are going to think that you will be like that to customers and disrespectful to managers. just take it easy and be yourself...really, if you dont get the job, its not the end of the world.
keep on trying...and coles myer is a good company to work for, despite the posts of some obviously disgruntled workers

 

[seremify007]

Out of curiosity, what kind of jobs does CML offer?

 

[biggles04]

The only positions with Coles Myer are administrative.

No they're not.

I meant to ask when doing group interviews and so on, are you applying for a place at like Target or something? I find it hard to believe that to get a job at Coles or Target you need to pass all these tests... well, if it's true, then wow that's really good! Never realised it was so tough to get a job in retail.

Could you please rephrase in more detail, and preferably perfect English so that I can understand what it is that you're asking?
