      Average Interview
      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wolseley UK (United Kingdom)

      Interview

      I had applied for the job of store manager. I was then emailed to say they would be interested in a telephone call and when would I be available? After emailing time and dates I was completely ignored. I then emailed back asking if there was a mix up, then to be told sorry they had been out the business for a few days so they would call me that afternoon. Again completely ignored. Very rude of a business to do that to some one and ignore them, twice!
