Applied online, received an email the next day asking to attend a (so called) "Recruitment Event" (fancy name for a terribly run group interview) 1) Introduce yourself to the group - Name, what you do, experience, interesting fact about yourself 2) Put into groups of 4 and asked to discuss and write down why you want to work for river island and what you think you could bring to the store 3) Refer your answers back to whole group 4) In the same groups again, given a celebrity and asked to choose a outfit for them - might be given a specific event, price range etc. For example, Zayn Malik, concert, within £500 all together. 5) Refer your outfits back to whole group and why you chose each item. Finished. ****Side note: I can't speak for all River Island stores, but this interview at the Brent Cross one was crap and poorly run. The group of about 15 of us were stuck in a dirty small hot staff locker room with staff coming in and out to collect/put away there belongings in-between the interview. Interviewer's were so unprofessional, the so-called "deputy manager" (Brent Cross doesn't even have a manager at the moment) was unprofessional. The other girl who was helping her spent most time talking to other staff. Just a complete mess. They even openly talked about staff complaining that they had to work 6 hours straight without a break (River Island stores are notorious for doing this; most employees complain about that), along with the bad pay, for all of us interviewee's to hear. After every "activity", the two interviewers were umm'ing and errr'ing about what to do next, like they didn't even know how to run an interview. It was so bad that I had to decline my offer. To be brutally honest, it's incredibly easy to a get a job at River Island, they're always losing staff so would take anyone. All you really have to do is look and dress attractively, be confident, and be available for the hours they want. They barely paid attention to answers given, and the interviewee's were early 20's themselves, they hardly cared. They just wanted to hire the most attractive, well-dressed girls and guys.
