I applied online. I interviewed at NEXT in Jan 2026
Interview
Had a virtual assessment and video questions, then a virtual interview. Very standard easy maths questions. However the interviewer was quite fast and aggressive, and did not care about my application or experience at all. Do not be fooled by the trainee title, you need to have a really good hold on real world issues and merchandising day to day.
1st stage interview - virtual interview - it was a google meet with one of the merchandising team members who basically asked various case questions and numerical questions. You need to have fair understanding of real world merch issues.
