I got an Interview a month after applying online. It was for a perm role. I got a email after 1 week asking me to attend an interview. When I arrived they sat me in the canteen for 5 minutes then a manager came and took me in a office. Interview was easy, manager helped me.

Interview
Not a terribly difficult interview process. Came to the store and had in interview on the HR floor on one of the upper levels of the huge building. Was pretty straight forward, we chatted a bit and they asked me some questions and told me a little about the job. I was then told I'd be contacted in 3 weeks - 1 month. I was actually contacted about 10 days later though and asked to come in for an induction.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked some basic questions such as... when have you worked in a team? When have you worked to a tight deadline? Describe a time you've overcame a difficult situation?
They then gave a couple of scenarios and asked how I would react:
There's a woman admiring a dress in the shop window and wants to come in a buy it but her size isn't available? What would you suggest?
Having found another similar dress she then wants to try it on but the fitting room is very busy and she doesn't have time. What would you suggest?
