There was an online application, group interview and then a final interview on my own. The online application was lengthy, but the questions there give a good insight into what they're looking for - people who are personable and presentable. There were 6 of us in the group interview, in which they asked us to do a series of group tasks - where they evaluated how we interacted with others, and how much we knew about the company. The final interview was more of a logistics talk - where we discussed the hours, salary, benefits of the company and holiday etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you sell this item?
- they'd given me a box of granola.
A group interview with others - straightforward questions shared with the group. A one to one interview after this with the section manager - this was also very informal. I was offered the job and accepted.
Good combination of online testing and in person situational questions in store. Testing beforehand had a range of questions including scaled responses and videos. In store questions were more team building
