I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Londres, Inglaterra) in Sep 2018
Interview
I applied online and was invited to a recruitment event.
There was about 15 of us all applying for the same job, I found this quite rude as it was not mentioned in the email that it was going to be a group interview and I did not feel like a group interview gave me a chance to present myself properly, the interview took place in the small kitchen at the back of the store and some people even had to stand. The interview was on Friday 14th of September and they said they would get back to me on Monday 17th September, it is now the 22nd (8 days later) and I have still have not got a reply which I think is extremely rude as I dedicated a lot of time and effort to attend the interview, I am assuming that I did not get the job since they decided not to get back to me.

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!

I applied online. I interviewed at River Island in Jun 2026
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.
