I have a job!!! had interview last Tuesday, induction this Wednesday :)

A very good start- I do hope that it was worth the long wait.

That sounds great biker, long may you continue to enjoy it.

lol Charleygirl Ile have you know I have had to cancel a rave lol.

Its been great, hard work but good, induction yesterday learning about behind the scenes etc.
Checkout training today phewww.. I'm sure I will grasp it lol.

Start Proper shift Sat/Sun/Mon

The Asda staff are so very friendly on the shop floor and behind the scenes. Im sure I will enjoy it.

Are you being employed full time?

At least they are savvy enough to recognise that you will not be taking time off because you are pregnant, you are more likely to turn up on time on Mondays, not having clubbed the weekend away, drunk yourself into oblivion and been on too many highs because of your drug taking! (I sincerely hope!).

Please let us know how it goes.

Love a real life story of an older woman's skills being recognized. Hope all goes well for you today

Best wishes for your induction day today xxxxxxxx

biker Well done my friend you certainly deserve it,one of my volunteers has just had her induction at the same Company and she starts next week on 5pm-9pm which suits her fine.Enjoy your induction day, xx

Well done!

Good luck hope all goes well.

lol rose I actually did look at some Doc Martins..the other day at Winfeilds shoe place... " you seen the price of them"
from! £69 up to over £100 ! must say they had some lovely flowery ones
But ended pair of wedged heel court shoes £4.99..will buy some leather ones as soon as.

Well done, hope you like the job, will you be wearing your Doc Martens?It's good that firms recognise the worth of the older person, isn't it? ?

Really pleased for you bikergran - I hope you will be very happy working there. Good Luck for tomorrow

Lovely news. So pleased for you

Well done, bikergran

Enjoy your first day.

Hugs for tomorrow, biker! Hope you have a great day

thank you

At least at a checkout you are sitting down and can have a chat with customers if that is allowed there. I agree though that you have to be flexible because that is how you will be taken on as a full time member of the staff, hopefully with all the benefits going.

Good luck for tomorrow.

Charleygirl lady who rang said they think they are putting me on checkouts, but I did put on the form that I would be willing to work in any departments.

Biker

Hooray! You deserve it!

Many Congrats bikergran!
It's about time some good luck came your way!

Well done Bikergran. I think ASDA have a policy about keeping older workers while they can still do the job.

There is a checkout operator in our local ASDA who is probably about 85 now. (He had his 80th with balloons etc)one day when I was there. He is a lovely man, very tall and genuinely friendly to customers He is so nice it's a pleasure to use his checkout.
A good committed older person might be a better bet than some youngsters.

Biker my only hope is that you are not on your feet all day long. Any chance of getting a job at the checkout? So pleased that you are now sorted.

Oh bikerg I'm so happy for you. Your perseverance has paid off at last!

Fabulous news Biker. Well done you!
