British multinational clothing retailer NEXT is one of the most well-known names in this industry in our country today.
It has around 500 stores in the United Kingdom, which is a truly impressive number for a high-street clothing retailer.
It is very much a global business though with another 200 across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
There is no clothing retailer as large as it in the UK and with 158 years of experience (yes, really!).
They certainly know what they’re doing.
This much history and success doesn’t come without the organisation having a driven team that consistently pushes them to new places at the front of their field.
NEXT has shown recognition for the work that employees do making it as easy as possible for people to apply for the vacancies at the company.
Even compared to other large companies, NEXT has made the process extremely simple.
Here, we lay out the very simple steps that you can take send off an application in no time at all.
So, let’s get to it!
First of all, you need to go to Indeed UK.
The page will direct you straight to the section where all of the job offers currently available are shown to you.
You will then need to create a profile as a candidate.
To do this, just click on: “Upload your CV”
A form will appear that you must fill in with the following data:
Email Address.
New Password.
Click on the checkbox NEXT to “I am human”.
Then click where it says: Create Account.
You should then receive an email to the email address that you submitted that will allow you to activate your account. Click on it.
Fill in all of your information to create a profile and attach a resume with all of the necessary information to apply as a potential candidate.
NEXT is one of the rare big companies that lets you complete the whole initial application process through the Indeed UK website.
Instead of seeing the usual “apply on company website” button you will instead see the “apply now” button.
This is absolute gold for those who want to send off quick applications!
This will take you to a page where you can choose which of your pre-uploaded CVs or resumes you want to send off with the application.
It is strongly recommended that you already have this uploaded to your Indeed UK account to make your job-finding journey a whole lot easier.
This means that with future applications you will often find forms prefilled for you.
This applies sometimes even for companies who prefer that you apply on their own website when found through Indeed UK.
Once you’ve chosen the CV there will then be a couple of questions from NEXT that will pertain more specifically to the role that you’re looking at.
It is crucial that you take your time on these as they will be one of the most important factors that the company looks at when deciding between you and other candidates.
Some of these will only be audible choice questions which may be simpler to answer.
Others, however, may require a more thought-out written response in which case you should proceed with extra care and make sure you double-check everything.
With some vacancies, you may also be asked to complete a test proving that you have relevant skills for the job.
These tests don’t usually take too long and once they’re done are kept on your profile so their results can be reused if other vacancies also require them.
Just like with the written answers, you should take your time on these to make sure you hit the top grade you can and put yourself in with the best chance possible of impressing NEXT.
Once these quick steps are done, we need to do is hit the submit button to have your application sent off.
Once this is completed the only thing that you have left to do is wait for them to get back to you.
How do I know if I have been selected?
If you’re of the people fortunate enough to have been selected by NEXT then they will send you an email so that you can arrange with them the following steps in their hiring process.
Make sure that you have entered an email with them that you often check the inbox of or receive notifications for at least.
Even if you do not hear back from your first application, you should not give up too quickly as the ease of the website means that coming back to look at the constant flow of new opportunities and send off further applications is a simple process.
You can now see just how easy it is to apply for one of the many with NEXT. Simply follow the steps laid out here and you can find yourself with a chance at being hired in no time at all.
Get to it and good luck!
