I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Argos in Sep 2016
Interview
Applied online and had phone interview next day (no warning). The same day I was offered an in-store interview, which took place 4 days later. Interview lasted 10-15 minutes and mainly consisted of being given information about the role rather than being asked questions. Throughout entire process I was never asked for a CV. I was successful in my interview but felt that anyone could have got the job.
The Argos interview was structured and professional, with competency-based questions and a clear focus on customer service. The interviewer was friendly and calm, making the process feel fair, organised, supportive. Overall it was a standard retail interview about experience and availability
