I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Shrewsbury, Inglaterra) in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied on their careers website. The application consisted of a short maths and health and safety test, a personality quiz and writing a short paragraph about yourself. 3 weeks later next notified me by email letting me know I was successful and that I should expect a phone call. A few days later they rang me and asked me a few basic questions and invited me to come to the store for an assessment (trail shift). All I had to do was stand at the front of the shop and greet and attend to customers. This lasted for about 15 minutes and was really easy. I was then told on the spot that I had got the job.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you keep yourself motivated if you found that your work was getting repetitive?
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
