Question 1

Supervisor salary
I’m looking for a job as store supervisor and I can’t seem to find a full time opening. Is it possible that more and more the jobs you find are part time? I’ve been trying for a while, and whenever I find a full-time position they either don’t announce the pay –you know the way they say: ‘competitive salary’ or ‘above minimum wage’- Part time positions do tend to offer more information regarding salary, but what I can find looks kind of low to me. Has anybody found themselves in the same position as me? Does anybody know what should be expected for part-time positions?

Hi Jana, lately I’m also coming across more part-time positions than a while ago. I honestly put it down to seasonal reasons, though I’m no expert… On the other hand, a part-time job is not bad news, even a seasonal job is not bad news from my point of view. The way I see it, it can be an entrance door … I also get quite frustrated when a job offer does not specify the pay and uses one of those expressions, but there’s nothing we can do about it. I don’t discard those offers, and the truth is that when you go to the interview you are given the information, so not serious for me –other than the fact that sometimes your time has not been productive- Part-time jobs I often find indicate pay, and it often ranges between 7 and 8 gbp per hour. I don’t know if this is what you’ve often found.

Thanks for your feedback C. it’s been very useful. The pay you mention is what I’ve come across to. I guess it must be the general rule. Not at the top though not far off the average part-time hourly earnings, as I’ve come to read in some articles –I wasn’t sure I could rely on their veracity-.

Question 2

Working in Merry Hill I live near the Merry Hill shopping centre and I’m not sure whether it’s best to address them directly for any openings or simply apply directly to the different shops individually.

I personally have been unable to find a 'work with us section' in their site…

Upps, you’re right, I tried and couldn’t find it either. Thanks.
