      Customer Sales Assistant Interview

      Aug 10, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dorchester, South West England, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Dorchester, South West England, England) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      When I arrived they seemed to not be expecting me. Left me waiting for 15 minutes whilst they got themselves sorted. Showed me to a room where they gave me instructions for the role play and left me for another 15 minutes whilst i read through, made notes and prepared myself. Then someone came in and sat in the corner taking notes and another person played the role of customer. Simple role play about a customer not finding what they want and you have to try to sell them other items and Intice them to buy special offers Etc I was then left for another 15minutes whilst they gave me my feedback form that I had to fill in. They came back and told me I was unsuccessful. Entire interview just based on the role play and nothing else taken into account. I thought really unfair. They said I should of asked more questions about what the customer wanted although I used all of the props and seemed to get everything the customer asked for and more. They said I could apply again in 6 months, no thanks!!

      I interviewed at Marks & Spencer

      Interview

      Very laid back, three interview questions (why M&S?, why would you fit the role etc) then asked for right to work and availability. Called back a few days later (after the weekend) to be offered the position.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer

      Interview

      One on one interview - did role play scenario which is basically seeing if you have the skills to identify where you can cross-sell related products to customers (e.g. looking for sunglasses, direct them to an offer on suncream). Then asked generic questions asking why you want to work for the company, how would you deal with certain situations
