I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at River Island (Cork) in Nov 2018
Interview
I was the only one that showed up on time, the interviewer didnt start at the time stated. I wasn't asked all the recruitment questions, i figured she was biased when I didn't get asked to partake in the practical aspect of the interview, i.e picking out clothes and trying to pitch a sale. I prepped with materials i found online and the few questions i was asked were literally word for word.
Video interview asked around 5-6 questions, you get two takes for each question and each question lasts around 30 seconds. Easy and quick process . Questions included your availability and why you want to work here
I applied in-person. I interviewed at River Island (Birmingham, England)
Interview
Group and individual, not a bad process. A mix of picking out outfits for specific occasions as you would in a sales associate roll, and also answering questions about retail in general.
Had a group interview, in which was asked differnt questions concerning customer service. A lot of partcipants in the interview, which made it harder to stand out. Overall, interview was not too hard.
