I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at River Island in Mar 2017
Interview
I had my interview on Thursday. It was pretty relaxed and there was about 25 of us and we all sat in the store. The store manager explained what River island is about and what the jobs consist of. She then took our names and the hours we can do and asked to see our passports. Remember to bring your passport or birth certificate otherwise you won't be interviewed. We were given a group icebreaker which was to explain why we chose River Island, what we could bring to the company, an interesting fact about ourselves and why we chose the outfit we were wearing. We were then given a pair excersise, one of us had to be the customer and the other was the sales advisor. Me and my partner had to pick an outfit and do a role play. The manager came round and observed every pair. After this the manager sat us all back down and asked if we had any questions (make sure to ask the manager a question so you're remembered). The interview took around an hour.

Pretty simple, wanted to know about availability, any previous experience within the retail industry and what about the company I knew about. Had some basic experience questions that the star technique comes in handy for!

Interview
My interview was done online with an ai bot who asks you questions. I answered them but I don’t think the questions are the same for everyone. But I did my best and in my opinion interviews online is better than face to face.
