I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Argos (Birmingham, England) in Sep 2013
Interview
One on One with the manager, about 20 minutes just the usual talk about what I'm looking to get out of the job and everything like that etc, etc, etc, etc
There was an application, a group activity and role play where you had to describe items from the catalogue and then if successful there was a competency interview with a manager.
General questions were asking and the interview was quite informal.
Tell me about yourself and your experience
How you would deal with difficult customers.
When have you worked in a team to achieve a target.
