Marks and Spencer employee

Q. How often is the website updated?

A. The vacancies we have on our site remain there until a candidate has been successful at interview. However, because we are regularly interviewing people, some vacancies may have already been filled when you see them on the site.

Q. Why is my local store not showing on the website?

A. Only those stores with current vacancies and interview times are displayed on the site.

Q. Is every vacancy shown on the website?

A. No. In fact, only one of each type of vacancy is shown.

Q. If I apply online, can I apply again via telephone?

A. No. All applications to join us, made either by phone or online, are held centrally on the same system. So, to avoid confusion (and duplication) we ask that you apply one way or the other.

Q. How many stores can I apply for?

A. If the store of your choice has no suitable vacancies you can change your application to another store.

Q. If I am not successful can I apply again?

A. You can but, as we hold all records on our central system for a set period of time, you’ll need to wait six months after your initial application to do so.

Q. If I have worked for Marks & Spencer before how should I apply to re-join?

A. Please ring 0845 300 3725 and press option 3
