I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied online, told I was successful straight after application then told when they had job interviews available online with time slots that you can book. However, they are first come first serve and go quickly. I then had the interview with an employee there where I was immediately told that the job had been taken but there was the option to still do an interview without having to complete the process of interview again if there was a new position available. So, I decided to go ahead with the interview where I had a role play activity to do where I was given some information about a M&S style business and had to memorise the information then preform the role play with the interviewer. Then you are given the chance to review yourself with what you did well and what went wrong.
I failed the role play because I missed a small detail but they said they were overall impressed by my role play. Due to me failing the role play that didn't continue to interview questions. However, they were still very kind and friendly and offered me lots of feedback.

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.

The interview lasted about 40 minutes, with a lot of questions about how you have handled situations previously and why you are a good candidate for them. Overall, an average interview just come prepared with the latest news and up to date product knowledge of the company.
