I applied online with HMV the other day for temp xmas work. Got a phone call the same afternoon asking me in for an interview. They must have liked what I wrote on my online app as they got back to me so fast.
I REALLY want this job, but ive never worked in retail or music before.
Has anyone here worked in HMV, or a music store? can you give me any pointers or info as to what will impress them at interview?

I know it is only a christmas job but I've been asked the most bizarre questions for christmas retail jobs in my time that have had nothing to do with the actual job - eg. What is your greatest achievement in life so far? (asked for the christmas job at virgin when I was 17) and also - what do you think of your last manager and in what ways are you like them? Don't worry about it thought, at the end of the day you can't be prepared for that sort of randomness, just be honest, smiley and confident and there is no reason why you shouldn't get it.
Good luck!
The job ad says excellent rates of pay so I expected a bit more than the minimum wage! Trouble is I've worked as a skilled trade for the past 3 years earning 3 times waht they pay, but I need to do something less physically demanding - at least for a while - due to a back injury.
She could tell I wasn't really hugely keen. I've said I'll start monday but I'm just not that excited by it.
I remember that. I thought that place was a local independent. I loved it, I spent hours in there after school listening to albums while waiting for trains or after school lesson etc.
