HOUSING UNITS - AND HOW TO GET AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

If you want to be a star of the show, then get an exclusive interview – that’s the message from one of the most-approached recruitment heads in the Oldham and north Manchester area.

Claire Washbrook, Personnel Manager at Housing Units, one of the UK’s leading home furnishings stores, says that those who impress when applying for a role at the store or in its support and logistics operations are the interviewees who know almost as much about the business as the interviewer.

“To stand out, you have to show knowledge and interest – and there’s so much knowledge available online these days that anybody and everybody should be able to arrive at an interview with a good understanding of a business,” said Claire.

“But where as some businesses might throw up obstructions, at Housing Units we want to be positive and to encourage – so while there’s plenty of material out there about the retail aspect of the business, we’ve decided to put some key pieces of information into video form. (View videos).

“The videos explain something about the business, our people, their approach, their rewards and incentives – the sorts of things that are not necessarily in the public domain, but which we are happy to share with people who want to join our business.”

Housing Units – known for its top-hatted doormen - was established in 1947. It is a family-owned furnishings retailer based in Wickentree Lane, Failsworth, Manchester M35 9BA, next to Junction 22 of the M60. It stocks 30,000 high-quality lines across a range of departments in two buildings and a crescent of specialist shops, and prides itself on its unique style of customer service, the value of its goods and the shopping experience it provides.
