job applying

I've just applied online for a two day per week temp job ib Asda- seems they want your life history AND you do an IQ test... I'd much prefer the job I've already applied for in a Co-op shop, ten miles from here.
Meanwhile I must be brief...I get two hours at a time in the local library and I have six minutes left!!
I'm off home to finish some bowls, if they haven't dried too much....

Just as a matter of interest, what does Asda want in their test?; 19 June 2013 at 14:37

stock control maths questions (timed) with up to five figure numbers and six stores with stock level, what has been ordered, warehouse levels.....price comparison sums....a few other things too.
I'm somehow relieved I didn't get the job!; 24 June 2013 at 08:24

We've been missing you, after all those glorious pictures and stories from NZ.
Hope you get the internet sorted.
RDG's booked us in to Texas Clayfest in late October. Hoping and fingers crossed, I'll be there by then.

I went to the Market in Abergavenny, seeing as Usk appeared to be closed on a saturday. Bought some books, found a rather nice gallery on the way back toward Usk, can't remember the name, in a converted barn, and bought a pot that was beyond my budget, sigh, couldn't resist it. Tea outside in the sun, watched by a suspicious duck.; 24 June 2013 at 21:45
Dru Marland said...: I've a friend who works at a big local ASDA. She says they're a nice friendly lot to work with (talking about her colleagues here, not the company). Come to think of it, some of the nicest people I've worked with have been in jobs that are thought of as lowly, by the sort of people who think that way. I hope you find something good, Gyynneth!; 25 June 2013 at 05:54

soubriquet said...: That's the one... It's called.. um...
Anyway, an interesting place, run by good people.

Was tempted by some of the paintings too. And woodcarvings.; 29 June 2013 at 12:50
