It was pretty chilled and relaxed. Two recruiters were on Zoom, one asking questions and the other taking notes. The interview lasted about 25 minutes and they asked around ten questions, including queries about my availability and if I can work Sundays.

I applied online on the company website. I got an email confirming an interview and was told to choose a date on their website. After the interview, I got a phone call with an offer. The whole process from applying to getting an interview took about a month, and then from the interview to the phone call offer took another week.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • How would you handle specific scenarios?

Interviewed by Area Manager and a store manager was present taking notes. They described the job role to me, hours etc. Asked my flexibility as overtime is available. Asked a bit about previous experience and important - research their values and morals as a company as they will ask you what you know about them. Asked about holidays booked, notice period and training.
