Has anyone had an interview by them before and can give me any tips? I've also to come up with a 3-5 minute presentation on either a virtual pet, a meal pill or a trip to mars, are props a necessity for this?

I am so sorry that someone did not answer your queries, none the less i was looking for information a couple days back on the subject as all info on this is quite dated.


however you will know how it went someone else with an upcoming interview may benefit from my experience.


ok! so firstly is the online interview you answer questions which then proceeds to a phone interview if you are accepted (Questions include personal questions which you have to choose two options too such as i am quick and decisive or i act positive to set backs)


secondly is the phone interview, they call you first to schedule a time that is best for you to then have the phone interview. bare in mind it is very likely that the person that takes the phone interview will not be at the store in which you are going to go into and are usually from the HR team.


so in my experience i was then text messaged yes that is right text messaged!! if i could reschedule my interview to two days later, which i replied was fine. So i attended and the assistant manager had to assess me as the manager was on holiday, the assistant manager also did not know the interviews were taking place on the day!. any who! the interview commenced, you had to create a presentation which lasted from 3-5 minutes. i done mine on the MEAL-PILL the other options were virtual pet and trip to mars. he did mention that the meal-pill is the more often option, not sure if its best sticking with that or not!. anyways i done that and after that came the product challenge, in which you had to find the best product for the customer, remember to listen carefully and ask appropriate questions.e.g. what are you here for today? would you like pay as you go or ay monthly? type of device they would like? what features they would want it to have? and so on and you have to find what is best from the brochure. you can be creative with this making things up there looking for your selling skills, offere free insurance with a higher priced contract or half price first 3 months something that will close the deal!


then next is the role play, its about having two rivl gyms, a member want to leave you have to stop them from leaving!


next comes the actual interview that takes about 30 minutes there is like 20 odd questions the general questions which include explain a time when you had to deal with an irate customer e.g.!


anyways i am waiting to hear back it was a very long interview lasted 4 hours and they said i will hear back in a week, i will be back hopefully with the result!!


hope ive helped!! ask any questions and i will try my best to respond! see ya btw this is for an EE store in east london

The first month is 50% targets, 2nd is 75% targets and the 3rd month is when you go up to the fu targets, they do look huge at the start of the month but believe me, once you get the hang of all the systems and things you'll get them no bother!
I had absolute no idea about phones before I started, I still know barely anything however as long as you're confident in what you're saying you'll get the sales fine. The rest of the store will help you out loads with the facts/you'll always have the price guide near by so don't panic about all the prices.
My interview was a Saturday and I found out on the Monday morning, however my store is a tiny one so I imagine it might take a bit longer to hear back for a London store. Let me know how you get on and I hope it's good news!

well i did not get the job, cannot say i am surprised, half way through the interview i lost all enthusiasm and was tired and wanted to go home it was a four hour interiew which was way too long for me. my advise is if you really want it you have to give 150% and wow them...which i was not able to do it took a week to hear back from them and that was by E-mail better luck next time ey

Hi, well done on passing the phone interview! Sounds like exactly the same process I went through. So, there's 3 parts to the instore interview.
Firstly they'll ask you to do your presentation, props aren't necessary for this however I took my tablet with me with a short powerpoint on it, this also shows you're good with technology.
After that they'll ask you basic interview questions, why do you want to work with ee, what do you know about ee, a time you succeeded in team work etc!
They will then go off and mark that section of the interview, if you scored enough points then they'll give you a sheet of gym prices to look over, after 10 mins they'll come back in and do a role play with you, basically you've to sell the gym membership to a customer(the interviewer).
Finally you'll be invited onto the shop floor for a short exercise where you'll be asked to approach the interviewer and suggest a phone for them. The staff will help you out with prices, they'll probably ask you if you want to sell them anything else, ask them for the insurance prices/if there's any deals on accessories when they take that insurance(I know the deal but ask the staff so you're not rhyming off too much and look suspicious!!). Sorry this turned out longer than planned. Good luck and let me know how you get on!!
