I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at NEXT in Jul 2016
Interview
I applied online, I can't remember if I uploaded a CV, filled in the information on the website, answered the questions and then submitted.
I received an email saying they would get back to me within a couple of days. 2 days past and I got a call asking if I was free for 5 minutes for a telephone interview.
In the call I was asked a few questions based on scenarios that would occur in store and what my solution would be as well as a time where I have had to cope with a lot of pressure.
At the end of the phone call I was given the job.
The whole process was fairly easy, though I found the online part a bit lengthly but it wasn't very hard.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
A scenario where I have been under a significant amount of pressure
They will show you the store and give you tasks on how to help customers, displaying competencies in customer service, this depends on deparments because if you work in another department, they will make you tag or fold clothes.
Applied online, did an online assessment, then a video interview. After that they made me come into the store and put an outfit together (for a wedding guest I believe) in 30 minutes. You pick out the outfit, jewellery, makeup, shoes, other accessories etc.
Easy interview on the phone then in store trial where i had to help customers and tidy the shop floor. The process was quick and easy and I was offered the job on the spot
