I applied in-person. I interviewed at T.K. Maxx (Llanelli, Wales) in Sep 2018
Interview
Despite this not being an actual interview. I thought this would be a group interview where we had to present each other to the group. There were 13 of us (14 if you include the staff) and we were paired up and had to tell and write facts about each other in 15 minutes. My partner was very nice and she has had work experience (unlike me) so her life was much more interesting than mine. After this Emma (assistant manager in the room with us) talked over the companies policies and where they get their stock from etc etc. About an hour has passed at this point and it went REALLY quickly. I was very interactive in discussions and I enjoyed the people I met. There was another task (or game they called it) where we had to guess the price of items of clothing. Some were surprisingly expensive despite the poor material but whatever. Along with this task me and my 2 other partners had to firstly chose an item that we just guessed and find some facts (phones were allowed to research) and this was a very interesting task. Again I was co-operative but didnt say anything aloud because I was too nervous lol. Finally, I had to fill out a form marking down boxes on different scenarios and stuff. This did not take too long. Overall it was a successful experience and I hope to get a call or e-mail saying I have a one to one interview :) As long as you enjoy it and co-operate time will fly by trust me.
While the system was easy to use, I found some of the questions unclear and not very reflective of real work situations. It was sometimes difficult to understand what kind of answer was expected.
They asked STAR based interview questions e.g give me a time you worked well in a team. Process was an online assessment and then one interview. Heard back the next day which was quick.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at T.K. Maxx (Merton, South West England, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Very easy going and informal. Was interviewed by the operations manager and he introduced himself and then asked me to introduce myself. He asked a few questions about experience like "can you give me an example where you made a mistake and resolved it?" and then asked about my availabilty. The staff are super friendly and welcoming
