I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Currys in May 2009
Interview
I was looking for a part time job and was giving CV's everywhere. I got an interview call from Currys store manager.
Interview was a take by 2 people (Manager and senior store staff). Even though it was a part time position a lot of was asked from general questions about education and previous experience and then how would I relate my academic and professional experience to the job.
I was asked general questions about my work experience, communication skills, and availability. After I had to demonstrate my sales skills by pretending to sell a TV to the person interviewing me. The process wasn't too difficult and the interview was very relaxed.
First initial phone call, standard interview where they asked questions on motivations
then second interview role-playing of a selling of a television, then once again motivational questions asked again but it was easier
