River Island interview questions

Group interview- everyone introduced themselves, we were asked questions and then split into groups to do brief roleplaying of customer and sales advisor, selling a product to the customer and then swapping over. We were then all asked our availability in terms of when we could start and what hours/days we could do.

Applied online and was invited to an interview. About 15 people there with 3 staff members asking questions such as 'if you were a sweet what would you be' etc and checked all our documentation. Then in pairs we had to 'sell' a product to our partners in front of the entire group. We indicated when we would be available. There wasn't really a chance to stand out. They said they would be in touch within a week. This is about 13th December. I finally was told they weren't progressing with my application. Well it was supposed to be a Christmas job, and I got that second email on 7th January. Very bad experience.
