Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Pret A Manger (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Apr 2019

Interview

The process was friendly, they test you if you can make drinks and if you can work under pressure in a busy environment. The hardest time was during lunch time but the manager was always there to help me.
