I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Currys (Reading, England) in May 2016
Interview
Applied online. Got a phonecall a day later asking of my availability and what I knew about the store.
Then I recieved an email 1-2 days later asking me to come in for a interview the following week.
The interview consisted of a role play and a competency based interview
The manager, who was very friendly, gave me a sheet of contracts that I had to sell with my own phone. It went pretty well and I recieved instant feedback.
Then I had the competency based interview which included getting to know one another, how I'd react to specific situations and relating to previous work experiences. The manager offered me the job right there.
Overall, it is pretty relaxed since the manager is very friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a time where you had to come up with a solution as a team in order to achieve something.
Briefly talk about skills in upselling and sales pitches with customers. They are more interested in upselling insurances and add-on products/services. Technical knowledge on products is not necessary, they will ask you about your ability to hit targets and KPIs every month.

Question 1
You will be walked onto the shop floor, and you will be asked to try to sell a product to the interviewer on the shop floor.
first interview quite easy-going, then if successful, called back for a second interview with the manager. Asked pretty much the same questions plus some that seemed irrelevant that you can't really elaborate on

Interview
got a call to set up an interview date, when I went in the managers were really nice and asked me scenario based questions. after 15 minutes they told me to choose a product and create a scenario for a family friend that might need it and why I chose that specific product for their issue. they took a copy of my passport and national insurance number.
