I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England) in Aug 2020
Interview
I was firstly invited for a phone interview asking about next and why i like the store if i shopped there etc. Then was invited for a trial shift interview and they showed me how to do different things over the course of an hour to see if i would enjoy working there.
Some normal competency questions around experience, education and situational tasks. then spent a little time on the floor to practice interacting with customers and staff. Then we reviewed after and got offered the job.
quite a casual interview and made sure to make me feel at ease. in my case, me and other candidates were all waiting in one room waiting to be called for individual interviews
I was invited to the store and given a briefing and a quick chat. I was then asked to carried out a few tasks for about half an hour to learn what I could be doing and also to see how I would work in the store. I was also offered a £10 voucher for attending the interview.
