Group Presentation
The process was pretty easy. First, I applied on the website, and then there was a group interview where we did a role play. After that, I had a private interview. (Keep in mind, this was for a Christmas temp role, so it might be different for other positions.)

The interview process was easy and smooth. I had a conversation with the management team, and it was a pleasant experience. It's a small store with a close-knit team. They asked about my previous work experience and my expectations for the role, and also how long I planned to stay with the company.
