I applied online for a second time after failing the first online test. I applied online for a store in London. It took them three days after I applied to call me for a phone interview. I was slightly unprepared as I didn't think I would actually get the job as I am under 18 but in the end I was told to come in for a face to face interview the next day.
I arrived at the shop 15 minutes early in a blazer and skirt where I met the duty manager.
The session was to be divided into three. The discovery session - where I met other staff and spoke to some customers for an hour. That was okay as I wasn't particularly shy around others. Then next part was the role play, in which I was given a sheet with different tablets and the manager took the role of a customer. That part was mostly common sense. Then the last part was competency interview. And for that part I interview I talked to two different managers. Altogether my experience lasted about 3 hours for some reason.
Briefly talk about skills in upselling and sales pitches with customers. They are more interested in upselling insurances and add-on products/services. Technical knowledge on products is not necessary, they will ask you about your ability to hit targets and KPIs every month.

Question 1
You will be walked onto the shop floor, and you will be asked to try to sell a product to the interviewer on the shop floor.
first interview quite easy-going, then if successful, called back for a second interview with the manager. Asked pretty much the same questions plus some that seemed irrelevant that you can't really elaborate on
I applied online. I interviewed at Currys (Reading, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
got a call to set up an interview date, when I went in the managers were really nice and asked me scenario based questions. after 15 minutes they told me to choose a product and create a scenario for a family friend that might need it and why I chose that specific product for their issue. they took a copy of my passport and national insurance number.
