DS (18) had a Zoom interivew with M&S over 2 weeks ago.
At the end of the call the lady said he had got the job, and would be hearing from them by the end of that week re induction.
That was 2 weeks ago - not a peep. Last week he emailed all 3 people on the Zoom invite to check everything was okay. No response. Today he's tried to call the store - can't get through to the relevant person.
It was a 22 hours per week role in the beds department in a huge out of town store (probably the flagship store for our county). At the time of application there were five part-time vacancies. It was a 2 month contract (but I gather lots of retail jobs are at the moment, and they then get extended if all's gone well). Now there are no vacancies but I figured that was because they had filled them all.
My MIL said she'd heard they were rejigging the store so perhaps that's it, but even if they were not now proceeding with him isn't it just really rude not to let him know?!
He's not been looking for a job since because he thought he had one.
Does it seem really odd?!
(I've asked him to clarify that they definitely said he had the job, and he has relayed the conversation and I agree it was a yes. They asked if he had holiday booked etc and told him next steps).
