I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Currys in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online and received call from the hiring manager a few days later where a brief phone interview was held over the phone. I was asked basic questions, and was then invited for an interview at the store. The interview atmosphere was very casual, and at the end of the interview the manager told me that she will inform me by the end of the day if they are hiring me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions are very straight-forward interview questions. If you have worked in the retail/sales industry before then it would be easy to answer.
Briefly talk about skills in upselling and sales pitches with customers. They are more interested in upselling insurances and add-on products/services. Technical knowledge on products is not necessary, they will ask you about your ability to hit targets and KPIs every month.

Question 1
You will be walked onto the shop floor, and you will be asked to try to sell a product to the interviewer on the shop floor.
first interview quite easy-going, then if successful, called back for a second interview with the manager. Asked pretty much the same questions plus some that seemed irrelevant that you can't really elaborate on
I applied online. I interviewed at Currys (Reading, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
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.
