Shortly after handing in my CV I got called to come in for an interview, took approximately 45 minutes. Included a multiple-choice retail aptitude test which was relatively easy, more common sense than anything. Interview was friendly and laid back.

Question 1
When did you show your initiative?
When did you go above and beyond for a customer?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at HomeSense (Manchester, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
Easy and most of the questions were situation-based. The interview was not too hard and the interviewer was genuinely interested in my experiences. After the interview, I was informed by the interviewer himself that I had been selected.
interview was quick, and mostly scenerio based questions (ex. name a time you had a conflict and how did you go about it?) you don’t need previous experience to be considered.

Question 1
name a time you had a conflict and how did you go about it?
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HomeSense (Aberdeen, Scotland) in Sept 2023
Interview
Smooth, straight to the point. A healthy list of questions, each calculated to gauge prospects' competences at different aspect of what makes a great business associate. Questions were sometimes repeated in a different way, but designed to elicit some sort of nuance a prior, similar response may have lacked.
