I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Currys (London, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied in October before the busy festive season. The first step was to complete situational test. A couple days later I received a phone call from the manager. He asked some general questions about my availability and areas that interest me. On the phone he tried to promote the company by talking about endless career opportunities and training that will be given. Then he asked me to come for the interview the following day.
My interview was more than half an hour late, however I was introduced to one of the colleagues who had to explain the basics about the role. When I was having an actual interview with the manager, it felt that he was mainly concerned about my availability. He asked some basic questions relevant to sales and a role but nothing too complicated. I was offered the job at the end of my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for us?
What interests you in technology?
What would you do if you were unable to meet your targets?
Are you willing to work weekends?
Definitely the easiest interview I had ever done. It was just an informal chat with one of the managers with really simple and straightforward questions and asking about my availability.
Initial group interview and then one to one afterwards. Very relaxed setting and was made comfortable by staff undertaking interview. The whole process was very quick and communication was great.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Currys
Interview
Fairly easy, staff were friendly and a smooth process. The employers do not make you feel pressurised, it helps when you have previous sales experience but if you show them you are eager to learn and are engaged in tech. they'll definitely want you.
