I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2016
Interview
I applied for this job online and got a phone call about a week later. They wanted to have a phone interview the following day. The phone interview only took about 15 mins and there were all basic questions eg: tell us about yourself, your previous working experience, etc. At end of the phone interview they told me that they would like me to come to the shop for a team assessment. I had this interview with two other people. They checked our passports first then put us on the shop floor for half an hour to see how we dealt with customers. After this, we went back to the staff room and were asked three questions about this job, mostly about how to handle cash. At the end we got a £10 gift card each and were told that they will contact us the following day with the results. I didn't get the job but was offered a different job instead.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What will you do if you discover somebody on the till keep making mistakes.
Telephone interview. The interviewer was pleasant and friendly. Although I did not get the job I originally applied for, I was contacted again for another role which I have been invited for a team assessment.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Nov 2018
Interview
Was not much of an interview process, just a hands on assessment seeing how I interact with customers and showed me around the shop. However, I found that the staff were not as friendly and left me in the dark to what the job actually consisted of.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Sept 2018
Interview
I applied for the Office Assistant temporary role. The application process itself is already ridiculous enough. You don't even have to upload a CV or a cover letter, no, instead you have to take a kindergarten level test, asking you to do a super simple math test (you basically have to calculate 60-35 or 120-50%), a reading test where you have to read a short text and then answer very trivial questions about it, and a personality test, which says you should be honest and that there is no right or wrong BUT clearly there is as a friend of mine didn't get invited and that decision was based on her answers. I was invited for an interview two weeks later and it felt more like an interrogation. I received an email one week later saying I was not successful but even if I had been I would have declined the job as it all seemed to be very unprofessional and for a pay of 6.11/h? No, thanks!
