I applied in-person. I interviewed at Argos (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2019
Interview
The interview was easy just the usual competency questions, interview felt very informal and felt like having a chat with a friend. The interview lasted around 30mins the first half was about getting to know me as a person then the other half was competency based questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give us a time you have dealt with a difficult customer and what was the outcome
straightforward question, nothing too challenging, interviewers were very friendly and relaxed and listened really well. Interview lasted around 25 minutes and found out i got the job in less than a week
A casual chat with the manager. Mainly focussed on availability and proximity to the store. Gave brief background and was told about the role and what it entails. The interview will vary manager to manager so any prep will help
It is a casual discussion. They really want to know how you handle tough customers and how quickly you can pick up work. As well as flexibility with time. As they need people to be multiskilled. Working back and front of house.
