I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Finisterre in Mar 2025
Interview
The first step was an initial phone screening interview with the store manager of the store I was applying for. Then, I had an invite for a second interview at the store, but due to availability, I did this as a video call with the store manager and area manager.

Question 1
Asked about my personal goals, why I want to work for the brand, what the biggest challenges will be for me in the role, to describe a typical day in my life at my previous place of employment, and what my strengths and weaknesses are.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Finisterre (St Agnes, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
I found the process very relaxed and chilled.
They were very quick in giving me a decision about the application, however I don't believe a lot of people applied for the job.

Two phone interviews with a current store manager.
