Does anyone here work for Lidl?

Don't Future [magazine publisher in Bath for non-Bath-ites] have any decent jobs, like feature writers, features editors, stuff like that?

was happy writing for magazines in office or freelance.
 
I went for an interview at Lidl about 2004, I'm fairly sure the pay was performance related in some way: you COULD earn £7.50 an hour, or it could be £5.50 an hour.

They also made me do an hours work trial, which I didn't get paid for.
I still plan to reclaim £7.50 from them with thievery :cool:

i'd like to know that as well; it's something i'd like to get into. DOn;t know how though, whenever i've visited their website i couldn't find anything.

I am moving from bath to Lancaster...:p Future publishing often do have jobs advertised but normally for Cross Stitch Monthly or Modified Cars weekly and the like
 
Fair enough.

Cross-Stitch Monthly is a cracking read, BTW.

hi cyberfairy you could try to get work experience or volunteer work in a field more relevant to your degree and career path. this was you can keepyour job and organise to have around 4-5 spare hours to volunteer somewhere. for example if you want to write you could ask a local charity if you could write a piece about their work and send it to a community news letter or something.thats what a friend of mine did for a while and now she works for one of the nationals
 
I have heard fairly bad things about LIDL as employers - was talking to a sales girl in a clothes shop I'm in pretty regularly who used to work there, they apparently take quite unnecessary interest in their staff's personal lives.
 
I am leaving my current nursery job to move up North. I am on 6.75 an hour which compared to most nurseries is a lot of money, and have been told by people where I am moving to, that despite my qualifications, brilliant references and experience will only ever be on minimum wage in that field of work.
I have an English degree but as yet, seen no jobs suitable in the area I am moving to (Lancaster)
However, been told that Lidl pay over seven quid an hour for shop assistants and the money rises a lot the higher up the scale you go plus there is a pension scheme.
There is a Lidl near Lancaster and I am seriously considering applying for a job with them as despite it not being my vocation, reckon I can earn enough money in a few years to do an MA or at least have have a wonderful out of worktime life.
Anyone else have experience of working for Lidl and is it as good as it sounds?
Yes I do and it's really good the pay is £7.50 hr n it's worth it

I had almost forgotten about this injustice. Might pop into Lidl on the way home.
