Submitted my online application where I answered questions about availability, why I wanted to work for Pret, and any skills and experience I had in management.
Next, I received a phone call requesting an in person interview and we arranged a time and day for me to arrive.
I was taken to the general manager's office where my application was pulled up on the computer and she mainly gave me information about the role, Pret's standards of business, how that specific shop operates and answered any question I had. It was a very relaxed 'interview', more like a discussion than a formal arrangement.
I was led back to the shop floor where they briefly had me work the till to assess how I was with customer interactions and operating under mild pressure.
I was in and out of the whole process in 20-30 minutes. She let me know that she would ask the rest of the team for feedback on how they felt about me and would get in touch later in the week.
