Well I answered those questions. And then they rejected me. Utterly ridiculous application process.
Personality sifts are not great things to have to go thorough, and I know I've been rejected at that stage on a couple of applications.

That phrase 'abilities and talents' was used in my rejection letter. I thought, what on earth... what other abilities and talents do I need. You make being friendly to customers and stacking shelves properly sound so complicated!!
Guys, I failed the first time was angry and determined to pass the damn thing, that I set up another account on a different email, this time I passed and was told to call a number to arrange an interview.
When you call up though they ask for your name and DOB, and I assume all accounts you make get linked, as tey said unfortuanately I hadn't passed and would have to apply back after 6 months. I argued the online screen said I had passed!! but the lady just told me to reapply again after 6 months.
