Knowing what to expect during your settling-in period will make your new job even less daunting.
How Long They Usually Run
As a rough guide, most retail and trade counter roles have a probation period of 3 to 6 months, so for Selco Jobs in builders’ merchants, that’s roughly the time frame to assess the fit of the new team member.
What Gets Assessed
They will look at whether you arrive on time, how quickly you learn about the products you are selling, how you deal with customers, and how you work with your colleagues. Arriving on time and asking lots of questions in the early stages is great.

A mid-way review is typically held, and may even be a second review closer to the end of your probation. These are straight forward conversations that outline what you’re doing well and areas for improvement. It’s worth bringing a few points to discuss prior to the meeting.
If Your Probation Is Extended
Extensions to a probation period do not automatically mean that your employment is to be brought to an end. Instead, they are usually used to set out specific areas for improvement and give the employee a set amount of time to get them right.
Your Rights Throughout
When all is said and done, try to go in prepared and a probation period will simply be a means for you to demonstrate your capability.
