Colloquio
Was invited to interview up in Knightsbridge. Had to prepare a SWOT analysis.
I thought the interview was going really well. I had prepared hours and really thought over my SWOT analysis. I thought the Buyer liked it as she was vigorously writing everything down. However, when the interview then went to the personal questions (which I think is more interesting then my SWOT) and both the HR person and the Buyer were clearly not listening and stared off into the distance...I knew that I had no chance as they probably wanted 1.) my ideas from my SWOT analysis 2.) already made there mind up to hire an internal candidate- both I heard Harrods is know for from a friend who use to work here.
I didn't hear back after my interview despite over prepping for this interview and spending lots of money- even on a printer for my presentation. Quite disappointed with this process and the employees I came into contact with. I really don't think I will apply here again as I've had a lot more respect from other interview process out there in the city.
To note: I looked up on Linkedin today....they hired an internal candidate with less experience.

Domanda 1
How are you able to multi-task?
How did you work with your buyer admin? Leadership etc.
Okay, could've been more involved.
Chose someone before me for the position then called and offered it to me - could've been managed better. I declined in light of this, didn't seem too professional

Colloquio
Got called by HR after applying online and had a good initial screening and was invited for the interview. Not enough info was provided on where to meet and who would pick me up and conduct the interview.
Interview was very structured and impersonal. But the most frustrating thing was that I had no communication after the interview whatsoever. After 2 weeks I checked in to see if a decision had been made but HR never replied. About 2 month later I got a generic email hat they proceeded with someone more fitting for the role. That is fine but the way the whole process was handled was extremely disappointing for such an illustrated retailer.

the boy from HR who did my initial interview said he would get back to me but never did. very unprofessional and clearly unorganised especially for a company that raves about how great their employees are.
