      Retail Advisor Interview

      19 May 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Gillingham, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vodafone (Gillingham, England) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      November- I applied online. x amount of days later I was told I needed to do a video interview. I prepared haaaaard for this stage and used what I had learned for a previous company's video interview (eg maintain eye contact. Eye contact is talking to your camera, NOT the screen). The MAIN thing companies look for is your personality (smile, joke, move your hands, change your talking speed). I felt more comfortable as the questions went on. Also, wear a smart shirt. Here are examples of potential questions-Tell me one thing you’re really passionate about and why? What drives and motivates you to meet or exceed your personal goals or targets? What do you think is teamwork? What excites you about this role at Vodafone? The next week I received a phone call saying I was successful which was a huge and pleasant surprise. I REPEAT- FOR THE VIDEO INTERVIEW, THE MAIN THING IS SHOW YOUR PERSONALITY and obviously impress with your answers. During this phone call I was given a lot of information about what to do for the next stage- a follow up email is sent. For the 1 to 1 interview in the store you have 1 week to prepare a sales pitch on a fictional futuristic invention. I chose the hardest of a choice of 3- a flying suit. Again, I put soooooo much effort into this! (most people will pick another option-flying car). I felt more relaxed and was able to really impress as my sales pitch went on (my flying suit was great btw. Diagram and EVERYTHING) After your pitch the manager will ask you to do a role play [info will be given- you have 15min to prepare]. Because my interviewer was great this allowed me to COMPLETELY relax and really impress A LOT MORE than I would've ever imagined. Then it's the usual interview questions- Who are our main competitors? What do you notice when you enter one of our stores? etc etc. Dress smart. I wore a red tie. I was successful. I was told about the background check and was given a provisional start date in December. I haven't been able to start yet (today's date) because of a complication in my documents but 2 weeks ago I decided to email the careers team asking for suitable roles in my area. Bla bla bla I have been offered a new contract with way more ours for a start date later this month! (I still have to pass the background check. You will ALL have to pass this check. Yes the whole interview process was challenging (mainly due to the effort I put in) but I loved it. The structure and the tasks are great.

      Retail Advisor Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Selby, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Vodafone (Selby, England) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      First of all I made the quest after that one day after I receive an email that say I will be called for a telephone interview in the next day, I was called at 11 in the morning there was a problem with my signal the operator seems too busy to wait another 5 minutes because she said that she has another interview in 20 minutes, and we managed to have an interview a few hours later at 4 a clock, it was the shortest interview I ever had, she asks me: are you studying? and I said I don't know I'm thinking to go to Uni next year, but I don't know I said that I will put the job my first priority and it's just a wish to go to university after that I said clearly that if I have a full time job and secure I will not go and anyway I don't know if go or not, so her answer was: If you are thinking of going to University next year, it’s not something you can 100% commit to. Vodafone is looking for people that can stay with the company long term, but with the potential of your going to University and without knowing what your timetable would be etc, we cannot currently progress your application. I may not be the best candidate for the job, but still I deserve a chance, this is not fair.. this is how i feel right now...
