Interview
I applied in-person and the whole process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Bonas (London, England) in October 2017.
It was a great experience, I applied in person and they ask me few questions about availability and flexibility. In 7 days I received a phone call from the store manager inviting me to an interview at OB store 4 days later.
The interview lasted around 2 hours. They asked me questions about myself, availability, and my experience... everything in a very relaxing way.
They were really friendly and clear, so the questions were easy to answer and I haven't feel any pressure or bad energy if I needed to take few seconds to think.
The interview continued with a math test that I completed in 20-30 min ( it was easy, but you need to be concentrated)
After the test I went to the shop floor and spend around 40 minutes there, talking to customers and meeting the rest of the team... I felt like I was already working at OB! They make me feel so comfortable so that helps me to be relaxed and be myself.
It was a really positive experience.
I received a job offer after 2 days... I was SO happy!

Interview
Really friendly & enjoyable interview process!! They got back to me quickly after I applied. I had a brief chat on the phone with the Assistant Manager and then was invited in for a second interview with the Manager + a mini-trial shift a few days later.
Standard questions, definitely lots of opportunity to speak about yourself/interests/skills etc. Ended up turning down the job as I'd already accepted another offer but would have been happy to work there otherwise!! (-:

Telephone screening interview, followed by in-person interview with time spent on the shop floor. Telephone screening was positive and interviewer was very friendly, in-person interview was an extension of this, feeling welcomed and questions were as anticipated.

Interview
Really friendly and fun interview process. I was really nervous but the team made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. The process was unique and so laid back that it hardly felt like an interview which eased my nerves.
