Paul Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 From past years, does anyone know what sort of recruitment pattern Chessington have for the summer? Do they usually recruit new R&A staff for summer periods? Because they have a couple of summer positions on the website at the moment and I'm just thinking that they might not put anymore on seeing as it is getting close to the summer holidays...Also, is the anyone on here who works at the moment or has worked in sales? There is a job in sales on there at the moment and it looks quite interesting... what sorts of things do you do day to day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do roamers who sell Fastrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Shadowing mostly on platforms is not doing anything then?Unless the term shadowing has changed, so they're actually not physically touching anything whatsoever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Does the recruitment process ALWAYS include an assessment? Or are there other forms of procedure after the application stage?Also, 2nd question, does anyone know if it is possible that you could have an assessment and induction in the same day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Assessment is the thing you do to GET the job...Induction is the thing you do to LEARN the job...Very very different things, so NEVER will you do both on the same day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Nowadays, assessment is general recruitment stage for the majority of jobs within merlin. Assessment is followed instantly by interview - basically assessment is the group tasks, and interview is one-to-one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
