It was a really informal interview. The person I spoke with was nice and chatty. It was quick and they only asked a few questions about why I wanted to work there and for examples of when I did something. I got the offer within a couple of hours.

I had a really good experience interviewing for the Sales Assistant role at Matalan in Knaresborough when they were opening the store. The interview was quite comprehensive, and the interviewer was really nice and made me feel welcome. They gave me a good amount of information about the job and the company itself.
