OVS Store Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I interviewed with this company with great preparation and seriousness, tackling each phase with competence and availability. The experience, however, turned out to be disappointing in several aspects. Despite the commitment shown and an objectively positive performance, the final selection seems to have favored unmeritorious criteria. People with limited preparation were chosen, but with a minimum of experience and, above all, an attitude more inclined to please than to demonstrate real abilities. I got the impression that, rather than skills and personal value, non-transparent dynamics influenced the outcome, where someone managed to emerge by exploiting the contributions and knowledge of others. A real shame, because a selection process should value merit, preparation, and potential, not logic of convenience or superficiality. An experience that certainly leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

The interview process included a group discussion, a case study, and an initial individual presentation. Afterward, we all discussed how to organize a hypothetical day at work. The interview was relaxed, and I felt comfortable.

Ci sono stati diversi passaggi di selezione, prima un colloquio di gruppo e poi uno individuale. Durante il colloquio sono state poste domande inopportune, come ad esempio se avessi intenzione di avere figli o quale fosse il lavoro dei miei genitori. La descrizione delle mansioni lavorative non era molto chiara, così come le informazioni precise sulla retribuzione. Già dal colloquio si è capito che richiedere ferie e permessi non era visto di buon occhio.
