I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Currys (Coventry, England) in Sept 2015
Interview
apply online
Series of scenarios and what you should do (if your were an employee) in that scenario. General common sense but think wisely about you decision as you have to 'spend' your six points to certain answers as they're can be more than one answer. Fail that and you do not profess any further in the interview
Telephone interview, if successful...
Instore interview
Is arranged via telephone interview (I started as a Christmas temp but was kept on out of the few people left!)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1

Do you know how much your role will pay
Are you able to work Black Friday
Are you able to work Boxing Day
Instore interview:
Have you ever shopped at CPW before? If so tell us about your experience and what would you do to change it to make it better....
Why should we employ you in our store?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Where would you feel most confident in our store?
Definitely the easiest interview I had ever done. It was just an informal chat with one of the managers with really simple and straightforward questions and asking about my availability.
Initial group interview and then one to one afterwards. Very relaxed setting and was made comfortable by staff undertaking interview. The whole process was very quick and communication was great.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Currys
Interview
Fairly easy, staff were friendly and a smooth process. The employers do not make you feel pressurised, it helps when you have previous sales experience but if you show them you are eager to learn and are engaged in tech. they'll definitely want you.
