      General Assistant Interview

      Nov 16, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Reading, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HobbyCraft (Reading, England) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      Easy. No tough questions. If you aren't terrible then you will probably get hired. I had my interview with one other lady. We were also given a trial work shift where we had to tidy the store. It wasn't too bad. Easy. If you are confident and talk to the colleagues then you will be alright. The lady I interviewed with didn't like constructive criticism and thought she was right about everything so she didn't get the job.

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HobbyCraft in Nov 2025

      Interview

      I was taken into a separate room where there were 4 other people, we were then told that we would be making clay animals and during that, one by one we would be called over for an interview with the manager. The interview itself was pretty easy, the manager was aware that I’d never had a job before so he avoided asking me any example questions, which I thought was very kind. It was mainly just questions about myself and what I know about the store. Overall, the staff were quite friendly and the interview process was very relaxed.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What does customer service mean to you? What does teamwork mean to you? What makes a good Hobbycraft employee? What do you know about the shop/what things have you bought? Hobbies/Interests and crafts that you enjoy
