Interview at m&s

Hi I've got an interview with Marks and Spencer next week for customer assistant in the clothing and home department and my email says that there will be shop floor exercises. Does anyone know what these exercises will be?

Hey @clusterhug02

When I had an interview with M and S, the shop floor section of the interview involved me tidying up a few rails, and sorting a few items for about 10/15 minutes. The lady interviewing me was observing me, but from afar around the shop and not directly over my shoulder so it wasn't intimidating. I think they're just trying to gauge how you handle the situation and its nothing to worry about. Also, your experience in the interview might be different to mine, but I hope this helps!

something business casual, maybe like a pair of black or navy trousers, a white coloured top and a plain sweater? just don’t show up in jeans and a t shirt and don’t wear trainers

hii it went well but I thought it was a summer job when it wasn't so i've been put "on hold" for other positions. congratulations, that's quite strange maybe contact them if they don't tell you closer to the date?
