Interview process was quick and very informative.
Staff were very friendly and very accommodating.
I remember they asked me about where I’d like to work in the store, I hadn’t worked in a supermarket before so was very open and honest about that.

Just be yourself and be honest, they love honesty.

Easy, casual, one on one interview with a young store employee. I was in a small room with another interview right next to me but you hardly notice them once you get on with the process. They checked my passport and said I'd hear from them soon.
