Submitted an online application and assessment. Then had an interview with the store manager and assistant manager where they asked questions about me and the role. After that, I was asked to build a bike. Then I went out on the shop floor and shadowed a staff member to see how a day usually runs. I was shown a quick briefing on how the till works and then returned to the staff room for a few more questions about my expectations before finishing. This was followed by a background check.

First, you'll apply online on the Halfords careers site. If that goes well, you'll have a quick phone interview. If you pass that, you'll come in for an in-store assessment and interview. During this part, you'll work on the shop floor and have to approach customers. It's basically to see how confident you are with people.

The interview process was quite comprehensive, lasting about 90 minutes in total. It involved a roleplay scenario where the objective was to sell as many products as possible. Despite the thoroughness, the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed, which helped me feel at ease.
