In person 10 minute interview with the manager on site : got an email for decision few days later. Informal interview asked around 5 questions about different situations and how you would deal with them.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Vision Express (Dudley, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
I had a telephone quick interview asking a few questions like why this role, what you would do in a difficult situation, a time you have gone above and beyond/shown initiative.
Then, I was invited to an interview in person (even though it wasn't even an interview) and had a look at shadowing the staff working at the store. I was so put off by my experience, the manager arrived late, didn't properly interview me and was flirting/eyeing up one of the staff there. The manager took me to a corner and said what did you think of today, will you be able to quickly learn how to do the pre-screening etc. I was not asked about my experience or anything else. Overall, I was really uncomfortable and I am glad I didn't get the offer.
This was for the VE in Dudley Tesco Express.
