Just had my interview today, and it really wasn't that bad! The interviewer seemed quite busy and mentioned she had another 13 interviews to go through and 3 inductions so my interview would definitely not last an hour. Infact it only lasted about 20 minutes!
Firstly she checked my details with me e.g. when I am available to work/my contact details..
She then asked me some questions such as:
- Why did you apply for this position
- Name a time you went the extra mile for a person
- Name a time you've went out of your way to help someone
- Name a time you learnt from your mistake
- How would you make a customer feel welcome when you've only just met them?
- What different techniques would you use to maximise sales?
- How would you provide an excellent customer service?
To be honest she didn't expect very long answers and was very understanding as she knew I was nervous.
She then took me to the shop floor when it was quiet and firstly told me to sell my appealing product to her (Vaseline Lip Therapy). She then took me to the front of the store where I had to read customer's body language. Lastly she took me to an isle and asked me how I would tidy it up. I said the obvious such as bring products to front, re-stock, make prices more clearer, get rid of any rubbish, and take any items which don't belong in the aisle to the right place!!
She then said she'll get back to me and ended the interview
