I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Sunderland, North East England, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online, got an email straight away to book an appointment for a recruitment event. There were around 8 of us there and we all sat around a table with 2 River Island managers. We started off with an ice breaker, going around the room and telling everyone a little bit about yourself. We then got to do a few activities, we teamed up in 2's and the first activity involved a piece of paper and writing down reasons to work for River Island / why RI? We then had to go around the room taking it in turns to tell everyone what we had written down. The second activity was fun. We were given a big pile of magazines and in our teams, we were told to choose a celebrity in the magazine, an occasion, and find something for them to wear for that occasion and why. After that they spoke a little bit about the store and that was it. The recruitment event lasted no longer than an hour. (Have a few questions prepared to ask, they like them)
Informal group interview in store, with several other people asked a few questions, lasted around half an hour. There was no individual segment for the role. Was offered the job the next day.
