Have to prepare a presentation and present in front of potential candidates, then spend an hour on the shop floor. Very simple, they didn't ask us any questions based on experience as you are expected to explain all in your interview.

Interview

I applied online and heard back within two weeks.

I got an emailing saying if I was available for a phone interview that day.
The interviewer was about 45 mins late in calling- which I thought was boarder line inappropriate, but we all get caught up in things.

The moment I answered the phone I knew it wasn't going to go well. It was a Friday afternoon and she was talking really quickly and didn't even let me finish my responses. She clearly did not want to be on the phone (with me) or listen to anything I had to say from the very start. Pretty unprofessional considering it was a great opportunity. This individual makes me think differently about this company. The interview was over before it even began. Why did she even bother talking to me?!

She said she would get back to me the following week- no response.
Heard back three weeks later- rejected.

Online application, there are standard questions and also a SJT which is quite difficult. They won't accept you if you have little to no experience in high end retail for a significant amount of time.

Interview

Online application was quick and easy, was contacted within a few days via email asking me to do a video interview, this was very easy with some great questions like "apart from your Christmas jumper what sets you apart from your friends" and "can you name all the gifts in the 12 days of Christmas". This was relaxed and something to have fun with to let your personality shine. I was contacted within a few days inviting me to a group interview in store, this was again a great experience with amazing management who were incredibly friendly and made the environment very relaxed and positive. The interview consisted of telling "my stories" in turns then a scenario based activity. My story is something they ask you to bring with you so that you can talk about yourself and how you are a good candidate for a Christmas role. The scenarios were also very relaxed and easy, we were separated into smaller groups and given a scenario to prepare a solution to, it's important to talk about things like link selling and how you will make the customers experience magical. I wasn't even asked any questions like why I want to work selfridges during the interview, but it's important you answer any questions like that within your my story so that they don't need to ask.Overall it was an incredibly positive interview process where management mainly focus on employing out going chatty people, skills seem to be less important than personality.
