Re: PC world interviewBe customer centric, but have a lot of self-worth too.
Black trousers, white shirt and a passive-coloured tie. Make sure your shoes are clean, and nails/hair are tidy.
Take a copy of your CV, chances are they won't read it, but they'd like to see the candidate prepared and to have initiative.
The interview can be one of, or a mixture of the three: Group Interview, 1-1 Interview, Shop-Floor trial.
For the latter, don't be scared to approach customers, just smile a lot, without looking creepy, and "Hi can I help you?".
Remember in a group interview, you are a team player, not a competitor.
And of course, good luck -

I had an interview the other day and got the job. I was dressed smart, and made sure they knew how passionate I was about technology AND how I LOVE making customers happy
everyone says its customer based. But it's 50/50. You need to show them hat you are interested and keen to keep up with the new products always coming in. Good luck!

Re: PC world interviewIt's always good to have a conversation starter, but they don't expect you to have dev knowledge as it's irrelevant for customer service roles.(Original post by bambamty)
