I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Bolton, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
Friends and Family hire as a christmas temp and then was kept on afterwards to continue as an employee. This was a great interview process and meant I could exhibit my skills a lot easier than a usual interview process. It was so good.

Question 1
What is a time you showed resilience in a difficult situation.
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Milton Keynes, England)
Interview
Initially went and the last candidate overran (i waited for 40 minutes extra) so my interview got moved to next week. Original interviewer wasn't available so a colleague performed it. They could not find the interview sheet so had to come up with questions on the spot and get my details again. I was a bit annoyed but I think the interview was okay.

Very chilled out interview with a few questions about simple stuff like what you would do in a confrontational event. Really nice interviewer, felt more like a chat than an interview.
