I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at River Island (Dublín, Dublín)
Interview
One on one with the manager, very straight forward questions on fashion and customer service, fast and easy, manager very nice and explained the brand clearly and what the pay would be, didn't get the job due to my lack of experience but the managers were great at getting back to me to give me the result.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you wear this outfit toda? Why river island? What was a good experience you've had with customer service?
I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Birmingham, Inglaterra) in Mar 2026
Interview
Group interview of around 15. First task was saying your name a bit about you out loud, just general information it seems like name age what you do. Then the second task was writing down good customer service and bad customer service in your little group and reading it out to the group. During this, they are checking to see what you say, but try not to talk over anyone but definitely stand out. The second task was getting clothes from the shop floor presenting your outfit and explaining your choice. I don’t believe they cared too much about your previous experience but rather your personality.

Fine, questions not always relevant but seems like a personality test I suppose. Nice enough interview in general. Quite quick interview, didn’t end up getting the job though , oh well
