I was showed around the work area and then had a half an hour trial. Basically just followong the recipe provided and doing the food prep.
HR asked some basic questions afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you looking for full-time or part-time job?
Do you have any difficulty commuting?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GAIL’s Bakery (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
Ghosting practice goes on here. If you don't get the job, they won't call you and tell you, they won't even text you. Their system? No contact is the way you're supposed to understand that you didn't get the job. It's fairly gross, but this is almost standard practice everywhere now

Question 1
Typical interview questions, like how did you get into this line of work, what was your last kitchen job like, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at GAIL’s Bakery in Nov 2024
Interview
Got an experience shift interview a few weeks after applying and was sent a link to book a half an hour timeslot. Interviewed by a member of the talent team and it was a very simple interview (only 2 questions). After interview was over, I got to work with the kitchen staff stuffing some croissants, but it seemed to just be to get a taste of the job rather than be assessed by the staff/interviewers.
A whole load of questions about what/where I study, when I finish my studies, my availability, any holidays I have, how long it takes to get to the bakery, exam period and the earliest time I can come in.
