Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Waitrose (Uckfield, England) nel mese di mag 2019
Colloquio
Four of us, all with years of retail experience under our belt. We had a scenario and interview it was like being interviewed for a managerial position, other positions available, but only one got the job. They lost out on three other quality applicants. Too clinical, answers are just graded with points.

We all had 6 sheets with colleague's skills and work that needed doing that day and had to designate work to each colleague. Then, hilarious, an added scenario, a Seagull flies into the shop, what would you do?? The whole process felt like it was for a higher position than a shop assistant. The person that got the position was a Manager of a Charity Shop. The rest of us had an email saying we would be put on the 'favourites list' so we wouldn't have to apply online again. I really feel that I couldn't go through that whole group interview and one to one, being graded by points, not on personality and experience. Producing a chart showing how the work is distributed to each shop assistant. Isn't that a Manager's job? The other people there were intelligent and experienced and would have made great employees too (this isn't just about me not getting the job).
Pretty easy, just asked about experience and strengths. Then did a group exercise where we had to prioritise tasks. Then we had to talk about why we chose certain things and what impact it had on sales

Colloquio
The recruitment process comprised of one online task, one round of in-person group tasks (based on real life scenarios) and then a one to one interview. The online task, in-person group tasks and one to one questions were straightforward.

Colloquio
Short initial interview with typical questions asked during any other behavioural interview. Might have been an initial online screening asking about how you are in the workplace and your personality.
Hiring manager was very friendly and patient.
