Group interview with about 15 people.It was very relaxing and if you get involved probably you will get the job. Don't be quite and try to get involved and involve others who are quiet.They want to see if you are a GOOD team player.

Get invited to group interview
Watch a few videos about the business, Complete a short exam based on the role (very easy), interview with HR or a manager with basic competency questions.
To be honest, if you get invited to the "group" interview you have already secured the role as long as you can answer a couple of questions. People turned up in tracksuits and trainers and still got the job.
Show availability for the shifts they desire, a basic numeracy and literacy rate and the ability to turn up to the interview on time and it is yours! A lemon could get hired for warehouse work.
