I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at NEXT (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Sep 2013
Interview
Online assesment (Around 40 questions) - If successful quick telephone interview.
Then 1:1 interview with a half an hour working on the shop floor (make sure you are can approach customers confidently, are friendly and helpful)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a bit about yourself?
What retail experience do you have?
What makes you a great team player?
Maybe some customer-related questions i.e. how would you deal with a difficult customer.
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.
