COLES MYER LIMITED

what exactly does this mean?
do i have to keep waiting? or call someone? cos i dont even know who to call

 

[theone123]

yeah they are f**king with u. u are on hold and they dont have any suitable vacancies, if they do they contact u.

resolution: to contact ur recruitment officer every week.

 

[Panda Bear]

or just delete your app and start again

 

[theone123]

my resolution was to brandish the f*** out of colesmyer

 

[sugaryblue]

Coles always do that.

i didn't even bother waiting for them to reply me (which took two months).

 

[Panda Bear]

yeah..

i guess i was lucky.. i took 3 weeks up to including induction to be started

 

[greeninsanity]

I don't understand how people get jobs with ColesMyer... they just ignore you!

I've been through their application process (online testing etc.) for Christmas Casual the past two years without being accepted or rejected (you progress so far and then don't hear any more) and recently got an email telling me they were still "processing my application" for a casual sales position... whatever that means.

 

[townie]

coles is evil, Woolworths all the way! it took them a while 2 get back 2 me, but when they did get back to me, i had a job within the week

 

[Jumpman]

ive tried woolworths also, they havnt contacted me at all

 

[greeninsanity]

it took woolworths a couple of months, but they did contact me...

 

[steffo]

COLES DID THE SAME THING TO ME
it took MONTHS and MONTHS of getting phone calls and going to "information days" and then i didnt even get a job.
theyre a bunch of wangs.
go find another job, honestly.

 

[Jumpman]

i think ill have to.
oh well back to square one.

 

[ace]

Coles Myer are scum for replies. I think I received one, similar to Jumpman's above recently, but that was after 3 months of waiting for a reply.

Woolworths also took some time, but they replied within a month, which was alot better. Even if it was the same basic crap message.

Some recruitment agencies, I noticed are also like Coles Myer in terms of response, if you don't call them / nag them like a mental patient, they will never reply.

On a side note, some recruitment agencies are cool, and get back to you asap. E.g. One of them got back to me, within hours, another within a week with work available.

So basically, when all else fails, let them find you a job, in most cases, even with there cut, you still get more, than if you applied to a casual job yourself.

 

[lil_star]

Dont worry u'll hopefully get one soon. It took me 5-6 months to get one and i was on hold in between my group and the main one to one interview :s

 

[arielbelle]

yeah they're mostly fooling around with us. if we start a petition i bet we'd overload with ppl willing to sign it, probably including ppl already on the job, but i suppose they're doing things legally, being a big company, so what can we do.

 

[soha]

they get heaps of applicants they have to accept and reject
so obviously they gonna fuck with some of them

 

[loquasagacious]

Yeah coles-meyer new app process sucks - dont worry the stoer managers agree with you.

I got hired before they introduced it,rocked up to lacal bi-lo, spoke tpo manager, he gave me paerwork, i filled it out and returned it the next day, he allocated me a department and asked me to start two days later. So all up the process took total 4 days including applying.

I never did an induction though lol.

 

[soha]

woolworths contacted me within a week
and i got an interview 2 days later..then my induction that week..then work the next
so it was a quick process

 

[lil_star]

woolworths contacted me within a week
and i got an interview 2 days later..then my induction that week..then work the next
so it was a quick process

Thats a surprise cos I have had my application up since last December and nothing happened so I stopped updating/renewing it every 90 days
