I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Newry, Northern Ireland) in Sept 2020
Interview
I had to complete an online application which consisted of a questionnaire then was invited to interview. Interview was competency based questions followed by a task on shop floor. The senario I was given was to select a present for someone buying a wedding present.
It was very basic, just a informal telephone call asking general questions about myself and then when I needed to come into the store for an assessment which was just putting away some clothes
Good, interviewer was friendly and courteous. Very transparent throughout the process, did take a while to get back to me but I think there were quite a numerous amount of candidates.
Very straightforward, standard interview questions. The interviewing manager was friendly and I was comfortable through the entire process. I would highly recommend applying to work at next, although I did not recieve an offer.
