Hey glad you had a positive experience hope it all goes well!

Did you wear a dress in the end ? As I lost my entire outfit on the train Yesterday I had to buy everything again I got a shift dress with black suit I hope that will do!
Also for the role play part did the group take part in asking questions or did you have to sell it like without interaction? Lol

I wore a black dress, but there was a good mix of girls in separates or a black dress, as long as you look smart, you'll be fine! Sorry to hear about your outfit, have you contacted the trains company?

I'm glad everything went well, let us know what happens :smile:

Still waiting for a confirmation of a job, trying not to be impatient but it's hard not to since I really want this job :biggrin:

Which departments did you choose on the application sheet? I picked all the fashion related ones.

I think ribbonrebel31 gave a good answer of this; there's different exercises but I think they do a good job testing you in different ways without being too intimidating. Just let your passion for their brand to shine through :smile:

And so sorry for your outfit being lost on a train, what happened?! I did separates with a skirt but dress is just as good in my opinion. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hey, thanks for the support! Just out of curiosity, when and how did they get back to you? Just got an email today saying they want to call me about my application?

Oh and the roleplay was one on one with the interviewer, and I think that's where i really managed to stand out and seriously sell myself! All in all, it is a very positive experience as far as interviews go, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it once the nerves settle down, good luck!

Yay congrats!! I got a call earlier and they wanted me to state my availability again, from 10th June to the end of July; now they are waiting for line managers to comment on that, hopefully they'll say yes!

When do you start & did you get any other info?

I have conversational skills in Spanish, French and Italian and can read basic Japanese and Korean script :smile:

The ice breaker was really easy, helps calm your nerves! Just had to introduce yourself and say why you wanted to work at harrods. Everyone got different items, I just lucked out and got an item I already knew a fair bit about :P

Um it was pretty good mine was completeley different to the ones ive seen i first had a webcam interview and then a interview with a manager it was pretty casual and the manager was lovely. My best advice would be dress the part ! Apperance is a big part of harrods
