Group Behavioral
We had a group interview on 29/10/2024 with about 60 people. We were split into smaller groups and rotated through three different stations. It was super competitive, with only about 10 out of 60 getting hired. Doing some research on the Cotton on foundation beforehand really helped me stand out. My tip is you really need to find a way to make yourself noticed because there are so many of you! Be confident, believe in yourself, and do your homework!! YOU GOT THIS<3
