I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NEXT (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Oct 2019
Interview
Filled in the online form, then received a text message some days later asking me to come in for an assessment.
The assessment took place on the shop floor: I was asked to make up an outfit, talk with customers (so they could gauge my confidence in interaction), and then be by the changing rooms. At the end I was brought into the office and offered a job. The whole assessment lasted about an hour.

It was nice. HR was kind and smiley. I was a bit nervous because English isn`t my native language. But I could relax and speak with her. The call was about 20 minutes.
