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.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Sheffield, England) in Sep 2016
Interview
First I had to complete an online self assessment quiz to see if I was suited to work at M&S, after passing this you book yourself onto an assessment and interview slot in-store. Upon arriving at M&S I was directed to the staff cafe area, then taken into an interview room with a manager for an informal chat where I was asked many questions. Then after I went to the shop floor to see if I could assist a "customer" make sure to up sell and ask lots of questions, after this I went back to the interview room and was told I was perfect for the role.

Marks and Spence
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

It started off as a screening group interview. After a week i got given an actual face-to-face interview. The interview had 3 stages and was relatively quick. I signed my contract on the actual day and got a guideline timetable of my beginning shifts.
