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.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at River Island (Liverpool, Inglaterra) in Jul 2016
Interview
I had applied for a job listed as 4 days a week. I was invited to an interview within 2 weeks of application.
I arrived in store and was taken to what can only be described as a broom cupboard. The room was just big enough for 2 chairs and was very very hot! Making it extremely uncomfortable.
The girl who was interviewing me was a sales assistant, i found that a little strange for such a big company to have a sales assistant doing recruitment rather than the management. She did most of the talking and didn't really ask too many questions. Literally just a couple of general questions. Yet she gave me a lot of information, including that the biggest contract she could offer me, if i was successful, was a 10 hour (not the 4 days as advertised).
Girl informed me that they would inform me either way in 48 hours. I walked out a bit confused really as i didn't feel i had actually been interviewed. (this is why i have rated it as easy) However, as I have 15 years retail experience, both in sales and management roles i didn't feel too worried, but 5 days later (not 48 hours) i got a rejection email, no feedback given.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at River Island (Beverley, England) in Jul 2016
Interview
I applied on 01/07 and I didn't get and E-mail to choose interview date until the 18/07. It was a group interview and everyone was friendly. The e-mail says dress comfortably but you do need to smart casual your outfit for the interview.
