    I work in Jack Wills and I enjoy it. Don't be fooled they pay minimum wage and put you on a four hour contract so one week you might get given 24 hours the next just four but they are pretty good with people at Uni.
    In my interview I pretty much talked about how important customer service is because that's what they are really hot on! I also got asked how would I identify a JW dressed manikin in comparison to other stores which was an odd one!!
    Go on the website and try and model your interview outfit on some of the clothes they sell. Oh also they love to up sell so bang on about the importance of that.

    Hope this helped, good luck!

    Well it took me two weeks to hear back so it's not unusual cause they had like 500 applications to go through. I'd go in to the store and ask to speak to the manager. They might give you an interview and if not they will probably remember you when they get to your cv.
