Colloquio
I had to complete 3 tests as part of the application, all easy and testing your responses to situations, etc. Following the tests I was invited to an interview at the store. We started with some group exercises where we were asked to list 5 principles of customer service, how to deal with a complaint and how to approach customers. We then had to present to the interviewers our responses. After this, we had one to one interviews where you're asked what hours you'd work, what areas you don't feel you could work in, and more questions like "give an example of when you had to deal with a difficult customer", etc. My one to one interview was in a room where another individual was being interviewed at the same time. They ask for your proof to work to photocopy at the start of the interview. You are then given the verified photocopy to keep should they offer you the job. The interview lasted roughly 1 hr 15 minutes in total.

I attended a group interview for a temporary Christmas position where we worked together on scenario-based tasks, discussing different approaches and demonstrating teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills throughout the process.

How would you handle a situation where there’s a long queue of customers, some becoming impatient, while you’re short-staffed during the Christmas rush?

Colloquio
It was a group interview where we had to read several scenarios, make individual notes, and then discuss possible solutions with the rest of the group. The assessed part was the group discussion, which was challenging because some of the other participants were very loud and overly confident. This made it difficult to share my points without feeling like I was interrupting or coming across as rude. There was also no one-to-one interview at the end, so my performance was judged entirely on how I interacted within the group.

Really easy. Done a group interview where they test you on your team work, then a solo interview to see your individuality. I then found out a week later if I got the job.
