I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Newcastle, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
first of all I took part in a online survey test, this was really easy and straightforward. Just remember that the customer always comes first. Upon arrival, I was taken to a interviewing room with one other woman who put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable. We read through the booklet together and I was told that I would be selling a alternative jacket to somebody, as the jacket they wanted wasn't in stock. It was really straight forward. I just asked questions like 'what was it that you liked about the jacket?' and 'What is your price range?.' I was then given a form to say what went well and what didn't, she read over that then I had a interview with the manager. She was lovely and the questions were very basic. We sorted over times and I then signed up for the job!
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Milton Keynes, England)
Interview
Initially went and the last candidate overran (i waited for 40 minutes extra) so my interview got moved to next week. Original interviewer wasn't available so a colleague performed it. They could not find the interview sheet so had to come up with questions on the spot and get my details again. I was a bit annoyed but I think the interview was okay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you have been given a task but a long queue is building up at tills, and there is only one colleague serving?
Quite informal, mostly asking about my reasons for applying to them specifically - I recommend looking at their welfare and environmental status, and the fact that their brand is associated with higher quality food

Question 1
Why would you choose to work at M&S rather than at another supermarket?
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (London, England)
Interview
Very chilled out interview with a few questions about simple stuff like what you would do in a confrontational event. Really nice interviewer, felt more like a chat than an interview.
