Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Hastings, East Sussex, South East England, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
I had to pick a fake meal deal and sell it to the interviewer. The rest was questions about myself and my availability.
I also had to show my student timetable and let them know any hobbies etc. It was mainly to get a schedule set up quickly. The impression was that I had the job because I was young and could do a lot of hours.
Pretty straightforward and fast application process. After submitting application I was booked in for an interview the week after. Good staff and ideal first job. Depends on the role, but the hours I had worked were not too bad and pay was above the London minimum wage.

Question 1
Think of a time where you or someone else demonstrated good customer service?
Fairly straight forward and simple. I was asked questions more about the type of person I was than what I was capable of. Therefore, I did not need much preparation.
