I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Bolton, England) in Sept 2023
Interview
I was told to join a lady taking stock of the delivery and putting the items on hangers. I began hanging and sorting the items with her. When done, she called the lady in charge and told her we were done. That was all that was done.
Completed an online assessment then had a telephone interview scheduled. Questions were pretty straight forward, they ask the type of questions you would except they ask a retail worker. None of the questions were out of the blue and I was able to answer them all pretty reflexively.
Very strange interview process. Was told on the phone I was going for an informal chat but on arrival I was brought straight into the stock room and up ladders to retrieve customer orders despite previously discussing the fact I have no experience in this department. It ended up being a work trial which I was not expecting at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I arrived for a chat but ended up being a work trial for one hour.
In-person interview, group interview with tour of building and talks with managers - nothing really technical. Basically everyone at the ‘interview’ got the job - did not care for proficiency
