COS Sales Advisor interview questions

Small group interview of about 10 people. We had to do a practical exercise of finding an outfit for a particular customer. We had a team exercise to put stock onto the floor. Then we had a list of jobs that needed to be done and what order we prioritised them. Then we had individual interviews with the store manager. Over all a really friendly relaxed experience.

I was phoned in to come in very early in the morning for an assessment centre type thing. There were various things we had to do - tag clothing along with some other candidates (although the girl kept mentioning that this part had nothing to do with our ability to tag clothing so I can only assume it has something to do with working in a team). We were then given a card with some potential customers and a scenario and asked to dress them with items from the store. After that was a list which we had to number the most important thing to address to the least important. I have to say that the women in this particular store seemed very bit chy and were making sly comments to each other while we were doing tasks. Also, the feedback I received had absolutely NOTHING to do with anything they asked me about and seemed like an easy way of dismissing me as a sales advisor.
