      Store Assistant Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at WHSmith

      Interview

      I applied online and was called by the manager a day later. Fairly straightforward interview, asked pretty standard questions but they didn't even have the decency to give any feedback following the interview which is unprofessional in my opinion.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WHSmith (London, England) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Quick and easy, was given straightforward questions, but I also prepared a lot before the interview. Nonetheless there was no mind games, all they wanted to know is availability, why you're leaving the last, will you be around in the near future and what salary are you expecting.
