Colloquio
I applied online in the evening and the next morning I received an email saying they would like me to attend a recruitment event. I chose my time for the recruitment event and arrived at the store. There were about 8 other girls also there for the event. We got shown to the staff room and the store manager ( from another store) introduced herself. We then did an icebreaker and we had to say who we are and a little bit about ourselves. ( It was not as awkward as I thought it was going to be!) We filled out a form with our availability on it, e.g the days of the week and also our availability over the Christmas period. We then got put into small groups and we had to do some role play activities where one person was the shop assistant and the other was a customer, we were not really watched so it was not too awkward! Then we were given a celebrity and we had to find them an outfit and then explain why we chose the outfit. We then went back up to the staff room and met our store manager who was lovely. She talked a bit about the incentives and the company. They said we would find out at the end of the day if we got the job. Luckily for me, I did although fewer hours than I originally wanted but hopefully can build them up more.
In the interview I have to say there were not many opportunities to 'shine' so don't be shy and be yourself.

Pretty simple, wanted to know about availability, any previous experience within the retail industry and what about the company I knew about. Had some basic experience questions that the star technique comes in handy for!

My interview was done online with an ai bot who asks you questions. I answered them but I don’t think the questions are the same for everyone. But I did my best and in my opinion interviews online is better than face to face.
