I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NEXT in Feb 2016
Interview
Email received saying I was shortlisted, telephone call within next few days. Asked four questions.
The interviewer was impressed with my answers and called back within the hour to arrange a team assessment.
Attended the assessment, spent 10 minutes putting security tags on clothes and 10 minutes putting clothes away.
I corrected a mistake, stock in wrong place, and they were impressed.
Quick interview afterwards, very friendly and informal, was told I was successful at the end of the interview.
£10 cash and £10 gift card for attending.
