It was a really good experience, lasting a bit over thirty minutes, but it felt fast because the manager was super friendly. She asked formal questions, but we also had casual chats, so it was pretty relaxed. Just make sure you have some solid customer service examples ready because you'll need them a few times. They also ask a lot about teamwork.

I had my first interview and it went well, then I had another interview with a manager who seemed pretty uninterested. She asked me what role I wanted, which felt like I didn't have a choice, and when I said 'whatever is fine,' she didn't seem happy with that.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you tell me about your availability during the week?
