I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Save the Children US (Cheam, England) in Sep 2011
Interview
Phoning the branch to have an initial chat with acting shop manager, discussing motives, availability etc. Then being called in for an informal interview/chat in person to assess your suitability for the role and also to be shown around the shop. Was a really straightforward process and once we'd discussed what days I was available I was ready to start the next week! At that time I was under the legal age for operating a till so this was one of the things we discussed - alternatives and how I could get involved e.g. with sorting donations in the back room.
The interview process was very natural and the shop manager taught all the in-store tasks through two hours. At the same time getting your hands on the execution。Culling clothes, pricing, cashiering and window display
I found the interview process to be straight forward and relaxed. I was asked some questions about availability and to expand on some of the information I had put in my written application.
