This interview was mostly about listening. I didn't really get a chance to talk or show what I could do, which makes me think they already made up their mind before I even showed up.

Group Presentation Behavioral
The interview process involved a group session and an assessment. We had to do a presentation and a breakout session to solve a real-world problem in a small team. I think they were looking for people who wouldn't try to take over or impose their opinions. After that, there was a casual chat with a manager. The whole day took place at a hotel and they were hiring for several roles at the new Christchurch, Dorset store.

- Tell me about your motivation for this role.
