A 1 on 1 interview, with some generic questions, I don't remember it lasting longer than 10 minutes. Then she took me onto the shop floor, and asked me what I could improve about one of the aisles. Then she asked me to approach some customers and ask them if they needed help. Although I couldn't actually answer the customers questions, she said it was basically just to see if I could approach customers. Then we went back to the interview room and she offered me the job.
very easy process. asked basic scenario questions. taken down to shop floor and questioned on gift ideas for christmas. took around 20-25 minutes. received a response within a week or two to say i got it.
I was told I'll be doing some work on the shop floor, however none of that happened. it was a group interview and was just asked three questions which took about 15 mins.

Interview
The interview was so quick only lasted about 30 mins. It was a group interview with three others including me. We were first asked to pick out a product from the christmas section on the floor that we thought would be a top seller. We then showed it to the manager and brought it back to the shelf where the manager asked if there was anyting we would do to improve the shelf display. Once everyone did that, we went up to the office where we were all asked one customer service type of question and then just general questions like availability etc. I’m not sure if I got the job yet but I just selected that I have to post this.
