Awwww that's nice that yawl are getting €10.50, feel like I should of made more of an effort to answer the questions now. The thing is that I left the office and took and early lunch to come to the interview and when the woman said that it would be an "audition day" I was just thinking "oh crap" :eek: because I said i'd be back in an hour or so lmao!

I'd say the 10% will go a long way though, forever 21 are like H&M prices

yea i got it dona:) and congrats to you 2 blink heads working together, its going to be a beast :P
such a weird and funny story, i was nervous yea but it was a laugh. i didnt like the way it was layed out , i felt like the front row got a better chance to answer a few questions as they could here a answer the questions and be heard , the people in the back (me:P) couldnt really hear the girl etc but was great crack , i introduced me self im karl blah blah im a pisces :P they main people up the front started laughing etc but people didnt really get that were sitting down cept for 2 :P then after i said i was a singer song writer etc she asked could we get a song and i was emmm ok then i sang a really high pitched song like fogle from superbad hahahahah it was a laugh,i got through anyway.the second i really liked , every body got into their pairs and there were girls in a all these groups of 3 and then there was me and this guy thye who barely spoke ,really quiet , and so out time came and i had already picked out the outfit while the first group where up doing their thing, but while i was explained what i thought was nice etc for our given title , he just stugged his head and said yea ok and barely gave an input , so it came to the actual presentation and it was kinda nerve wrecking because there are girl watching your outfit that know what to wear etc haha and they seemed to like it , i was matching a studed whit low cut top,with a chain and studs on each shoulder , with black studded ankle high boots with other and things and a clutch bag "thats nice and small ye know , fits under you arm if your out , nice and small ye knw does the job , bobs your tea pot" hhahaha wats was i thinking haha
after we finished our outfit and as we just sat down a blonde came and asked me a thye to come on to the second stage,i was like what ??really how come the people before wasnt asked over straight away i asked myself!!as i was sitten by the door 3 were standing there talking and said to me we didnt expect you's to know what you were talking about so well , because two lads picking out a girls outfit etc
anyway as i was walking into the nterview to my table there was my old manger from river island louise haha and she stud up basically screamed hi haha that was so cool because i havent seen her in ages ( she gorgus) :P any way went through all the answers that i practised etc and my tasks etc and she understood the examples of having to i- ball rails in a store and and change stock on mannequins at busy times etc .i wasnt being cocky and saying aw its my old manager i have the job but i still gave it my best and said all my answers i studyied etc ,she was surprised at some answers and said we havent heard that sort of answer yet etc ,so i got the job any gave louise a hug and she gave me her mobile number if i have a problem ?? didnt know how to take it :P and i walked out past the main english girl with the short hair really sad with my head down and she looked at me like ahhh what basically and den i ran back in and started laughing and said see ye on the 27th gave her a high five ran out the door and then. . . . .fell up the stairs hahahahahahahaha ****ing shoes

I felt the same about my outfit! Everyone was wearing cardigans and hoodies and I was wearing a grey blazer! I Went all out with my accessories too, think I had 6 or rings, necklace, studded clutch bag, bracelets, pearl hair clips, etc. And most of the other girls only had a necklace and 1 or 2 rings, i felt so overdressed but I guess they liked it I suppose it shows we take the job seriously but we also have a sense of style!

Was that the blonde girl in shorts and a hat? I thought she was one of the forever 21 models at first then she spoke in an Irish accent! She's verrryy "forever 21" she's gorgeous and seemed so nice too!
When we styled our outfit she said at the beginning to use scarves and tights because it's winter, but we didn't use them then she was like "why didn't you add a scarf or tights" and I thought we had blown it but I said the shoes are open toe so the tights wouldn't look good and the scarf would distract from the necklace (plus we had a chunky blazer with it to keep her warm!)

I had on a high waist skirt (with a floral pattern), a black shirt tucked into the skirt, black tights and flats and of course the blazer .. I did the accessory thing too I had on my fave necklace, my watch on one wrist and loadsa bracelets on the other haha..

Barely anyone was dressed up in mine and there was 20 of us at least! Had a girl there who was wearing tracksuit bottoms and a long sleeve :eek: and another who didnt take her jacket off at any point of the audition and another few who just looked really casual..

Had two girls in my group who said they just walked in off the street.. like they hadnt applied or anything, they just saw the sign on the windows and came in LOL!

your dam right pal smart casual is way better than being to casual !!!! some people were in filty runners aswell etc and were messy !! did you take your piercings out ???



oh and i was talking to louise and we just chatting about something and then something came up and she said when a store is hopefully going to open in london you could get a transfer and work over there as a level 2 etc thats good there are so many job and career opportunities in fashion retail

i applied for sales advisor and stock room , but i was put down for visual merchandiser aswell , didnt have a choice ,she said i dont know why you didnt apply for vm in the first place cause i did dress maneguins alot with her when she was vm in river hopefully i get that over everything , it would be so cool

I have a long commute as well but i don't care, just glad to be working! And I won't have to sign on every month now..yay! I beyond happy about that, being on the dole is the most degrading thing in life you feel like such a scumbag even though it's not your fault there's no jobs..or at least that's how I feel!

I will be working full time too! They were delighted about that, she said not many people applied for full time!

Thats what I was wondering! I think maybe because my auditions where the last of the day they just let them have a go Cuz I did remember, the list yer one had. You know where she had your names printed down on the sheet and she had to sign you in ye? I remember seeing like written names under the printed ones...

Ooh lucky, VM is my dream job. The manager who interviewed me (short blonde hair) said most of us will be doing VM before the store opens because there's a lot to be done..hopefully they'll like what they see and maybe I'll get promoted eventually hehe.
Yeah I took my piercings out.. Couldn't get them out and I was freaking out so I went to snakebite at like 2.45 and the dudes in there took them out for me and everyone in the whole studio wished me good luck and said "you'll have no problem getting the job!" I love those guys!

can't wait to start! Wish it was 27 oct now haha

a girl in my group forgot about her audition on Thursday so they let her audition with us but she didn't make it to round 2. Then another girl came in late and one of them interviewer didn't look to happy about that, I felt bad for her but i made sure I was there 30 mins early!

Yeah I think almost everyone in my group was students except me, a girl from brazil and a 26 year old. The rest were all saying where they went to college and what they studied one girl even said "i study __ and __ and I'm very brainy" and a lot were taking much longer than 10 seconds, I took about 8 or 9 seconds I think lol. I didn't stand though, I was the first person picked to talk about myself so I was really nervous! But I looked around at the rest of the group and made eye contact when I was saying it!

ooh and manicle your outfit sounds lovely!

ye its degrading alryt , in my social line there are just forreign nationals and the odd scum bags with their track suites etc ,when i signed on i always was cleaned and had nice cloths on !!! it not out fault we cant find a job like i didnt want to sign on i waited 4 months before i signed on but i had no choice after that , we have payed our taxes in the past so i think its only fair for the government to help us out when we need them :P

ye they seemed to be pleased with people apply for full time and i said got your making feel like second best the way you said you havent had many full time lads applying haha:P

your trip sound pricey i must say i dont think i would be able to travel, i can barely travel from mine as it is:P im going to see how things work out and i might move into to somewhere around town,


ye it would be cool ye but if the things at nine and your traveling etc you would have to leave really early and things to atleast have an hour together etc ?

Ah my trip isn't too bad I'd probably move up eventually. I was thinking I'd get the train at 6.30 on orientation day, I'd be up in Dublin at 8, could meet up at the spire or Jervis centre so around 8 or 8.15? That gives us plenty of time cuz the hotel is only a few mins from there!

yea thats louise i think looks like your one from pussy cat dolls ??,yea they are nice guys , they all have nice hearts me thinks

I applied for part time.. but she asked me about my college hours LOL.. Im only in for like 12 hours a week and ive fridays off and she was like so you can do loadsa hours ye??? LOL Ah my interviewer was lovely (: I hope I get to see her more when we start

I was actually surprised that not a lot of lads applied!! There was like ONE in my group and yer one was so surprised when she saw him haha
Theres a mens dept too! I think becuz of the posters only mainly women applied..
There was one who came in who thought forever21 was a makeup store LOL!

When you guys applied which email did you send it to? I sent mine to the one on the jervis centre which is completely different to the one they had on their posters and it seems to me that people who applied to the email on the posters didnt get a reply but the ones who applied via the jervis email did??
