I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Oct 2013
Interview
After passing the CV review I was given notice about a phone interview to take place within a week of submitting my CV.
Asked some basic personal questions about myself, then asked about a few different situational questions and some generic interview questions; in total 4 questions.
Following passing this stage I progressed to the interview stage at the retail site. Sat with manager and asked 4-5 questions, again about my self, some situational and then some questions in relation to actually working in that role.

Interview
Folded clothes and put on hangers, more a test of composure and basic motor ability. Job accepted, fair pace to it but get the hang of it or near enough target after a while
Interviewed for stock room assistant. Straightforward interview with store assistant manager, met the stock room manager afterwards. Was offered the job the same day. Don't think I had to give references but was one of my first jobs years ago.
