I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at River Island (Waterford) in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied on-line and received an interview invitation 2 days after that. I could pick a term from appointments provided 2 weeks after that.
Interview was quick (less than 15 minutes) and questions were ordinary - what do I know about the company, why do I want to work there, when I'm available, how do I work as a part of a team, how would I approach a customer etc.
I received email 2 days after, that they are sorry but that they have decided not to progress with my details.
I interviewed at River Island (Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales)
Interview
The store manager is a lovely guy, very understanding of those with learning difficulties and people who are inexperienced with interviews. All around a relaxed and friendly environment, would happily do again
Nice environment and people who conducted the interview.
Disappointed that no feedback was provided afterwards since so much prep goes into the interview.
Seems like a nice place to work and a nice environment/culture.
