Question 1
Group Q: What is the best meal you have had?
Independent Q: Tell us about a time you provided excellent customer service?
A formal process. Group assessment at the beginning, followed by a formal individual interview. In the waitrose offices in central london, very clean and pleasant office with a good friendly atmosphere. Not intimidating at all.
