First interview was a group setting, had 30 minutes to analyse charts and data for a fictional store and present it back to your interviewer in a one on one interview, then you had a more traditional interview where they asked standard questions. Then there are group assessments once everyone has had their one on one. The next round is am interview with the area manager of the store you apply for. In this case they give you more documents and charts relating to that store and ask you to prepare a SWOT analysis. I was simply told to not take too long so no specific time was given to prepare it. Then you meet the area manager who asks a bit about yourself then you present your findings. I didn't get the job, and the feedback given to me was that they wanted to see more focus on people management. However as all I was asked was to present a SWOT analysis, it didn't give much opportunity to show these skills. It also suggests they don't refer to the 1st interview and the answers given there because I spoke about it at length. It was my belief they had someone already lined up for the job as the email with the feedback didn't make sense.

Approached by recruitment team member for a telephone After a week of me replying with a yes to the call I got 2nd reply from anon agent saying I hadn't been short listed 1st agent then finally replied giving me a time and date of a 4 hour assessment 64 miles from my hometown. I prep for interview and 20 hours prior to the interview I was told don't come as I wasn't a suitable applicant. That's it!
