ooo i wanna apply to myer too, but after the hsc.
im assuming you sit in a circle or something like that and you get partnered and you tell them about yourself and the other person has to tell everyone else about you, visa versa probably testing your listening and communication skills.

lve been to a group interview thing for rebel sport, basically they want to access how you can interact with different people/personalities. they'll probabley set scenarioes up like dealing with an angry customer and how you would handle it. they will probably ask what you can bring to the plate as an employee of theirs.
good luck.
good luck.

From what I remember you sit on a rectangular table with 6-7 people, and one person on the end of the table is like... the person who examines you..
You begin by introducing your name, a bit about you, and something interesting about you..
Then I think the HR person asked us a few questions on shit like, what you would do in each scenario.. I only remember one of the questions which roughly talks about how it's xmas sales.. you're assigned to the toys section.. actually I dont remember..
I thought it was a waste of time really.

i had to sit around a table with a group of people
we got paired up and had to discuss our selves
then each person had to get up and say what they 'learnt' about the person.
now the fun really begins... by getting an object, like a back massager (yeah i know) and try to sell it in weird and wonderfull ways. its some serious character building stuff
just interact with everyone and be 'nice' even if you hate the people your with and speak up about what you think you should do in a situation you get given.
like dont say punch their lights out if they ask you what would you do if someone was hassaling you... thats a bad idea. i didnt do that. really

wow
thanks Leo100!
i also just got an email on group interviews at myer a couple of weeks ago but haven't got an email on the date yet.
i think there's also an individual interview after that if you passed the group ones. can anyone correct me on that?

They usually give you scenarios of things that might happen during your day to day job. Try to think of answers beforehand to a variety of situations.
They're usually pretty obvious things. Try to be relaxed and smile! You have to stand out from the others.

Hey! Looks like I might be seeing you at the group interview! I've booked myself in for the group interview on the 6th (Saturday morning) as well.soopacow said:Don't they give you a link to the webpage where you reserve your group interview date? I have mine on 6th morning.
Your group interview is for the Sydney City store yeah? Oh jeez, FOUR group interview sessions? As if I wasn't already nervous enough, FOUR group interviews just emphasises how large the candidature for the one store must be. :SWell I got invited by email to apply for the Bondi store online. Ended up deciding it's a bit far but applied anyway. Was asked to tick the three preferred stores to work at and stupidly, I didn't include Bondi as one of my top three so they sent me another email saying that they couldn't accept the application since I didn't tick Bondi.jannny said:
Anyways, to the point, they sent me an sms on Tuesday (around noon-ish) saying I'd been invited to an interview and to check my email. Got home and there was the email with info about a group interview for the Sydney City store and how to book a group interview session. So, it's mostly been by email so far.
I'm still really nervous. I have no idea what to expect and how good the "competition" will be for a position at Myer. This girl I know worked at Myer ages ago and said it was extremely competitive- but that was for a Cosmetics Sales Assistant position rather than a Christmas Casual one.
This pretty much sums up what happens at a Myer Group Interview.CieL said:
The toys section thing, i remember you had to recommend a doll or a girls toy to a customer (male) I believe.
Answer as many questions as enthusiastically as you can.

I have mine at 11.30am... When's yours?frootloop said:Hey! Looks like I might be seeing you at the group interview! I've booked myself in for the group interview on the 6th (Saturday morning) as well.
I guess just be yourself and uhh... we'll survive. x) And maybe they only have like 5 people each interview session? XD
Kinda scared already... I don't really care if they don't keep me after Christmas (though it would be nice if they do
)Awww... nah, we're not in the same session. That time slot wasn't even one of the ones I could choose from! They must have a few sessions available for each person that's going for a group interview. So... there must be HEAPS of sessions being held! It'll probably just be the 6 people on the one table with the observer at one end in a room per session. I'm getting even more nervous now lol.soopacow said:I have mine at 11.30am... When's yours?

Yeah, I'm not too fussed if they keep me afterwards (if I get a christmas casual position that is). I must admit I'd REALLY love to work there for the holidays though. =P

If you get the choice, I seriously recommend that you take Myer over Cotton On. I have heard so many people say awful things about cotton on.**freakstar87** said:
