So, Holland & Barrett's hiring process, right? It's got a few steps to see if you're a good fit. You usually start with applying online, then there's a screening part, and finally, you have an in-person interview. Lots of people apply through places like Indeed, but you can also just walk in or get a referral. They might give you an online test at the start to check your basic skills. The in-person interview isn't too tough, pretty chill and conversational. People say it's not too hard and the overall vibe is just okay. After the interview, they might get back to you pretty fast, sometimes with an offer in a day or two, other times it takes about a week. They seem to move pretty quick, which is good. To get ready, you should totally check out Holland & Barrett's story, what they're about, and their products. Make sure you know what the job is about and how you can do it. And definitely practice answering those common questions, especially ones about helping customers and working with others.

So first I chatted with someone, and they asked me to talk about a time I had to work with others to get something done, and also about any difficult customer situations I'd handled or how I deal with conflict. After that, they showed me their e-learning system and some quick tests to get me up to speed on their products and services.
