I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at River Island (Birmingham, Inglaterra)
Interview
I applied online and received an email back the following day to book onto a recruitment event. There was only one date available for me to book onto which was around two days later. When I arrived to the store I was sat waiting in the men's footwear area when around 9/10 people arrived. Staff were very friendly and invited us into the staff room where we all sat around a huge table. At this point we all individually introduced ourselves and got put into groups of 2 or 3 where we then had to write down what facts we knew about the company. The next stage of interview involved running out onto the shop floor in our groups to find an outfit which was most appropriate to the occasion we had been given. In my case I was given a night out clubbing. However, I had two other males in my group so we decided as a group that we'd pick two outfits... one for a women and one for a man. In our groups we then explained the chosen outfits and why. The interview lasted around 30/40 minutes if that. Two days later I got the call to say I had got the job and accepted the offer.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at River Island (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
I handed my CV in person in the shop. I was phone some days later to arrange an interview for next Saturday (one week later). It was a group interview, we were girls and two boys. Easy interview, the manager spent a lot of time speaking about him so we could feel more comfortable. He said he wanted our personalities to come out. We were introducing ourselves and then doing a short role play in which one person was the sales assistant and the other the customer. After that, we had to fill in a paper with contact details, availability, personal details... That was everything! They said the would contact us with a call to say if we had got the job or not, but I havent been contacted.
