I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thomas Cook (Pontypridd, Wales) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was fairly easy. The first stage when you apply is the online tests (maths/English/multiple choice etc). After a few weeks you are invited to take part in a phone interview. This is more of the formal interview, after passing the phone interview I was then invited into the branch I applied to for the in person interview, this was more unprofessional, you have to sit a short easy maths and English test and then I was asked to plan a holiday for a celebrity.
I was contacted with a job offer 2 days later.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thomas Cook (Bournemouth, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
Long process since I applied. Got a phone call after 3 weeks inviting for phone interview then followed a group interview and maths and English test. During the group interview we were asked to choose a destination and sell the holiday. I felt like I couldn't express myself as other people were taking over. All together they still saw my qualities and offered me the job. Easy tests in my opinion. You can use calculator for percentages. Got a phone call the day after with a job offer. Still long time before starting.
