What were you doing on your shift?
Like all shifts I have completed, I was doing replenishment of shelves.
I was placed on pasta and pet food aisles.
How do you think it went? Why?
We all know how bulky both pasta and pet food can be bulky and heavy.
All in all this shift was the best shift, as I felt I achieved much more than I have done on previous night shifts.
When will your next shift be?
This was my last shift, as this merchandising position was only a temporary position.
What were you doing on your shift?
Like yesterday, I was merchandising crisps.
However, my night was made better because I became Team Leader, leading my team to the best of my ability.
I encouraged my team to get all merchandising tasks completed with time on the shift to spare, ready for the store to be opened.
How do you think it went? Why?
Taking in to consideration that I have only had two weeks’ supervisory experience, I was excited and pleased that I was given the Team Leader position.
I continued working hard with my part of the merchandising to complete my tasks.
When will your next shift be?
My next shift was at 8pm that evening and I could not wait.
What were you doing on your shift?
Like my last shift, I was doing replenishment of shelves in the Alcohol aisle and in the Free From aisle.
With the alcohol being sold at £10+, I tagged each bottle.
How do you think it went? Why?
It was still a challenge as it was night work, but I was getting used to doing night work, but I was enjoying the position.
When will your next shift be?
My next shift will be Wednesday night at 8pm for another 11 hours.
Where is this position based?
This position was based at Sainsbury’s in West Green, Crawley, just off the A23.
Who did you meet on your first ever night shift?
I met many amazing staff from Sainsbury’s and MSS.
Six members of staff from MSS were doing the same temporary position that I was doing.
What were you doing on your shift?
I was merchandising stock from cages and pallets onto the correct shelving, which include alcohol and Free From.
How do you think it went? Why?
I am not going to lie, but it was a major challenge for me as it was my first shift working nights, which I have not done before.
It definitely killed me, but wanted to do much, much more.
When will your next shift be?
My next shift will be tonight at 8pm for another 11 hours.
What skills do you think you used?
I communicated with the store manager and other Sainsbury’s staff to see which aisle(s) they wanted to place me.
I feel I used a methodical approach to this position, as I placed each product at the bottom (on the floor) of where they needed to be placed on the shelves.
Then I opened and stacked the products into the correct places on the shelves quickly, abiding to Health and Safety and making sure there were no gaps, using my keen eye for detail.
I received a text message today for the interview I had with The Vapour Room on Friday. The text message read:
Hi Jamie it’s [SENDER’S NAME] from Thor juice Ltd. Thank you for your application to work at the Vapour Room Crawley and for taking the time to personally meet with us . We regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position.
That was nice of him to send me a text, declining. So I called the interviewer back, thanking him for both the interview, and the declining text.
I asked how he thought the interview went very well, without any faults
