Interview
I applied online, then completed a numerical test (Not your standard SHL - it was more data finding), then had a video interview before being invited into the head office for a 1:1 interview.
The video interview had three questions with a short time to prepare between them.
The 1:1 interview was in 2 parts. Part 1 I presented qualities that make a good Merchandiser and how merchandising fits into the fashion buying cycle. Part two was competency based interview questions.
