      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
