They will show you the store and give you tasks on how to help customers, displaying competencies in customer service, this depends on deparments because if you work in another department, they will make you tag or fold clothes.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Sligo) in Nov 2019
Interview
Very relaxed and took only about 20 minutes. You are interviewed by one of the senior staff and taken a small tour around the area. Then you are asked to have a small induction by working on the floor for 30 minutes while being observed by the interviewer to see how well you work alone and when handling a costumer.
Applied online, did an online assessment, then a video interview. After that they made me come into the store and put an outfit together (for a wedding guest I believe) in 30 minutes. You pick out the outfit, jewellery, makeup, shoes, other accessories etc.
Easy interview on the phone then in store trial where i had to help customers and tidy the shop floor. The process was quick and easy and I was offered the job on the spot
