I applied online. I interviewed at Pret A Manger (London, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
Really straightforward - went straight for a shop interview and it seemed I'd got the job before I'd even walked in because they were desperate for staff.
They mainly wanted to know whether I could commit to full time and how soon I could start.
I decided after my second shift at Pret that it wasn't for me - I wasn't super impressed with management and felt that they weren't really invested in me.
An easy causal conversation about myself and previous experience. Then I had a trial shift before being offered the job. Trial shift is around 30 minutes and very easy, more to see if you can make coffee and fit in with the team

Question 1
Previous customer experience and why I wanted to work there
They asked me to make a coffee. Pretty straightforward, one chat with a manager and done — not intimidating at all. They asked simple, usual questions: about your background, why you want to work at Pret, your availability, stuff like that.
