Interview
Formal but friendly. I had a phone interview, and was invited in for a formal interview later in the week. Asked about my past experience with retail and how i work in different situations. Was offered a job at the end of my Interview. Overall a very positive experience!

got a call to set up an interview date, when I went in the managers were really nice and asked me scenario based questions. after 15 minutes they told me to choose a product and create a scenario for a family friend that might need it and why I chose that specific product for their issue. they took a copy of my passport and national insurance number.
