    Harvey Nichols interview questions
    I had an interview today at Harvey Nichols, i have had an interview at Selfridges before so i was prepared for what questions a high end store may ask. I got up to date with Harvey Nichols brands as i was sure they would ask me about it.

    I was asked about my employment history and experience i have, i havent worked in retail before but i have been an intern at Missguided and have styled a photoshoot for Red Herring at Debenhams.

    I was asked why i applied for the position, about Harvey Nichols brands, what my favourite brand was and why, how i would get to know my work mates, three words to describe me as a friend, what job i would like in the future, any hobbies.

    I wore black ankle length trousers, white blouse with studded collar and a black blazer with mid heels, the interviewer complimented me on my outfit so i must have got the outfit choice right.

    She said i will receive a call by next weekend if i have been successful so i will update this thread when and if i receive the call. I hope this thread helps some of you as i know i struggled to find a thread with useful info on Harvey Nichols.

    Be confident, know your brands and make conversation with the interviewer on route to the interview room are the pieces of advice i would follow.

    Hi,

    Thanks for this! It is really helpful.

    Could you tell me what job you went for? Just wondering if the questions will differ depending on the job role. Also, did you have to do a maths test?

    Thanks!

    It was for thr accessories dept, i have been called in for another interview and trial on the shop floor so i will update my post. No i wasnt asked a maths test nor was i asked to sell an item which some posts have stated so i suppose it depends on the person interviewing you, thanks.
