Behavioral Group
So first, there was like a quick intro to the company and the job, then they asked questions about customer service, teamwork, and how I'd handle being in a busy retail place. The interviews are usually pretty chill and structured, sometimes it's just me and one interviewer, other times it's a group thing. Mostly, the questions are just about customer service, working with others, and stuff I've actually done.

Got a phone call about the job, then an email with the interview date and time. I showed up early and waited on the sofa. The manager came and took me to a room. The interview included questions about the company, why I want to work there, my customer service background, and some key company points like what off-price means and what I'd do in certain situations. Basically, it was about doing basic research on their company and how they're different and stand out.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you explain what off-price means?
- What do you understand by 'treasure' in this context?
