Interview
Applied online, simple and straightforward process, series of situational awareness tests where you match up your responses to certain situations in order of preference, its mainly common sense. Then a few days later I was emailed invited to an interview a few days later. I arrived at the assessment centre and then we filled in a form specifying our availability and then our preferences in where we would like to work most branch wise.
After this we went off to do the group interview, which consisted of a simple matching up activity, having customer requirements and products that we would think best went with them. We were given a few minutes of independent reading and then the group discussion which they were assessing. It's vital to speak up because if you are not vocal in this exercise then they have nothing to assess you on.
After that we had the one to one interview where they ask a series of questions about times you have had to do certain things and that was it. They said they'd call back within 2 weeks to give me the results, as of yet I am still waiting.

Interview
I got invited in for an interview after applying l on the Waitrose / John Lewis website. It was described as a group interview but it ended up being 1:1 because no-one else turned up. The manager who interviewed me was friendly and helped put me at ease. The interview lasted about half an hour.
