We started with an online test, it was multiple choice and asked scenario questions. Then you had to rank yourself. After that, there was a second stage which was an interview where we had to work in a group to solve questions. For example, they asked what we would do if a customer wanted a product that wasn't available.

I first applied and did an online assessment. After that, I had an in-person interview. The questions were pretty straightforward, mostly common sense stuff. The interviewer was nice. I got offered the job a few days later.

The process was simple, you apply online then go through a quiz where you answer scenario questions. If suitable for the role they ask you to go for an interview where it's a one-on-one conversation with the manager!
