I applied in-person. I interviewed at Specsavers (Sydney)
Interview
Was asked to go in at 8.30am before the store opened and they bought me a coffee and basically just had a really easy going conversation with me. It hardly felt like an interview at all and was a really nice experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How soon can you start? What experience do you have?
There were two interviewers in the room who were very kind and friendly, made the whole process feel at ease. Got asked pretty standard interview questions. The whole interview was fairly brief and quick.
I applied online. I interviewed at Specsavers (Newbury, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
I went to Specsavers for an interview and had a great experience. The lady interviewing me was very kind and the questions were very thorough and gave me plenty of room to display how I would be a good fit. I want to WARN people, since I didn't see anyone mention already, there was a maths test halfway through.
This caught me off guard but it was very simple adding and percentages and they even gave me a calculator. There was also a simple priority question and a filing exercise.
Then there was a second page of questions and some more information about the role. At the end she offered me some dates for a trial shift which I accepted.
Got a phone call to book interview which didn’t get booked, I had turned up to another candidates interview time and had to reschedule. Late interview start (around 25 minutes) but friendly, laid back interview talking mostly about experience and where I see myself in 5 years time.
