I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Crown Paints (Manchester, England) in Jul 2024
Interview
Very unorganized, supposed to be a 4 person interview only 2 people from the company where there due to others been on holiday and was seen 1h30 minutes after agreed time.
Two stage interview process. First stage was an informal talk and interview. The Second stage required a presentation which was then followed by a small interview. This was then followed up with a tour of the workspace.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crown Paints (London, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
I was called for a telephone interview, however this varies between stores as each one runs differently. The interview was very relaxed and easy - the questions were mainly about previous experience and what you could offer the company... experience in target driven environments etc. Trade counter experience would definitely help, however I was still offered the job due to experience in a retail environment. The process from start to finish took 2 weeks in total. The manager actually did more talking than I did and it didn't even feel like an interview.
