Well structured. Came with questions prepared to standardise applicants and also very open to answering all of my questions. Very polite, engaged and would interview with them again in the future.

Question 1
They asked me specific questions relating to my CV eg. was there any other projects that were from discovery to launch or are a lot just parts?
Brief interview, mainly was asked about previous jobs and why I wanted to work for Specsavers. The atmosphere wasn't tense, so I felt comfortable instead of on edge as I usually did with the interviews.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Specsavers (Galway)
Interview
Was invited to the managers office where I was interviewed by the manager and store supervisor.
They were polite and properly invested in the interview. Only complaint I had is it took way too long for them to get back to me with the results of the interview. And with how it was handled I have a feeling that they were waiting for a specific person to show up whom they already decided would be hired prior to the interview process.
