I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NEXT (Glasgow, Scotland) in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone interview which lasted around 5 mins, asking things purely about me and why I wanted to work for them. Then I was invited to a further interview which turns out to be a trial shift where you're on the shop floor yourself for around 40 mins. You are then sent back inside to talk to the interviewer who tells you straight away if you have the job or not.Plus you get a £10 gift card and £10 in cash for spending time on the shop floor.
They will show you the store and give you tasks on how to help customers, displaying competencies in customer service, this depends on deparments because if you work in another department, they will make you tag or fold clothes.
Applied online, did an online assessment, then a video interview. After that they made me come into the store and put an outfit together (for a wedding guest I believe) in 30 minutes. You pick out the outfit, jewellery, makeup, shoes, other accessories etc.
Easy interview on the phone then in store trial where i had to help customers and tidy the shop floor. The process was quick and easy and I was offered the job on the spot
