I applied online, answered pages and pages of 'what would you do if' scenarios and personality questionaires. Got an email 3 days later inviting me to a selection day on the following Monday.
During the selection day the manageress was polite, helpful, and made me feel relaxed and calm.
She asked me similar questions and wrote all my answers down.
She told me I would fund our either way by the end of the week.
I got the phone call at 8pm on Friday offering me the job.
I start my induction on Tuesday!
