What if I have trouble submitting my application?

First, check that your Internet connection is still working and that the problem is not a technical issue with the computer you are using. Second, be sure that you have answered all questions in the application form. Many of the questions in the application are mandatory (marked with an asterisk) and must be completed before an application can be submitted.

I have forgotten my password. What can I do?

If you have forgotten your password, click on 'Forgotten Password' on the login page where you will be prompted to answer the 'Secret Question' that you entered when you created your account. When you answer this correctly you will then be sent an email with a new password.

If I'm invited for an interview, what should I expect?

Interview invitations are usually by e-mail, so you'll need to always monitor your e-mails to make sure you don't miss an interview invitation.

When you are invited for an interview you will be provided with information regarding the type of interview and who will be present. At Myer, depending on the role we conduct both Group Interviews and Line Manager Interview.

It is important to remember the interview is your opportunity to outline your previous positions/skills, how they link to the advertised role and previous demonstrated behaviours. You may also use this time to ask questions about the role. Basically, the interview is an opportunity for us to get to know you and your experiences, and for you to get to know more about Myer.

When should I hear from Myer Recruitment?

The Recruitment process timeframe can vary depending on the number of applications received and number of positions available. MYER Recruitment will endeavour to keep you posted on the status of your application. You may sign in to your account at any time as an existing applicant and check on your application status.

Why didn't I get an interview?

All applications are reviewed and short-listed based on the required skills, availability and experience for the position. If you were not invited to an interview it may be that other applicants had more closely aligned skills, availability and experience.

Are all applicants asked the same questions?

Interview questions vary from role to role, however there are specific questions that will be asked of all applicants for specific role. The depth of questioning or inclusion of extra questions may vary depending on the applicant's skills and experience.

Why didn't I get the job?

Not getting the job can be disappointing. However it can be an opportunity to review your application, your career goals and your desired next step.

Myer is a dynamic place to work and requires team members to meet specific requirements. Reasons for an application being unsuccessful may include:

  • Applicants not demonstrating the ability to meet the demands and requirements of the Myer work environment.
  • High volume of applications received for the advertised position
  • Unable to offer a position that meets the applicant's requirements. This may include the availability of days/hours or the location preference.
Does Myer offer Work Experience?

We are in the process of reviewing our current Work Experience program to ensure we can offer a comprehensive and valuable experience in the future.
