I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Colchester, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
The interview was grouped, with the majority of the people who were they being girls and only three of which being boys. There were about 20 people their in total. The event lasted two hours and first consisted of an ice breaker where everyone introduced themselves. After this the group split into two and the groups had to work together to decide what they needed to do in certain situations. In our group we had at the front of the shop and changing rooms. At the end we had to present our ideas to the rest of the group.
