The process if your application form is successful then you will be called to an interview and this process is usually two stages. Depending on the role in which you are being interviewed for will depend on the questions you are asked but being up to date with your research into the company and the different roles but more importantly a big part of the interview process will be about you. How do you deal with customers, what do you think is good and bad customer service, give examples, name 5 products we sell, how would you describe these to customers looking for such an item?
Concentrate on how your previous experience whether it’s from a school or education setting or work experience fits in with the job role and your perception on the environment in which you will hopefully be working in. Its very important to be thorough in your knowledge as no interviewer will think highly if it’s clear that you haven’t prepared.
