Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied on Indeed and then got an email and text with a link to an AI Chatbot interview. It asked if I had the right to work, my availability, why I wanted to work there, how I'd handle an upset customer, and to rank some tasks. Then I had a video interview where they asked about my favourite River Island item and how I'd sell it, typical sales advisor tasks, what excellent customer service looks like with an example, and what makes a successful team.

It was online, with six easy questions. You get two tries for each, and the last one is about your availability. The questions weren't super hard and were mostly about skills and what makes you want to apply.

Group Presentation Behavioral
So we had this group interview thing, but honestly, they didn't ask anything that felt important. The interviewer was super late, like 20 minutes, and then just told us to chat with someone else and find out stuff about them, and then we had to tell the group. After that, we had to do this role-play where I was supposed to be an employee and the other person was a customer. The person I role-played with was kind of acting dumb when it was my turn to be the employee, which was weird. Honestly, the whole thing felt like a waste of time and I would have preferred a normal interview.
