I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Preston, North West England, England) in Apr 2013
Interview
Took online test which took about 30 minutes. Questions were based on customer service and how you would deal with difficult situations. Passed this assessment and then received an email to select which interview slots were available. Role play was based on a customer wanting a 2 setter sofa which had been discontinued and there was only one available in the window which you are not allowed to sell. Once the role play is over they give you a feedback form which they ask you to complete. How do you think it went? What did you do well? What didn't go well? What would you do differently? Make sure you fill this in well as you can pick up extra points if you missed something out in the role play, for example I forgot to mention searching online but remembered to include this on the feedback form.

I applied online. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer
Interview
The interview was very informal - more like a chat. Got asked about my previous work experience from my cv and the skills I gained from those experiences, Lasted around 10-15 minutes.
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Bristol, England)
Interview
Was nice and simple - and the questions were good and they were really engaging in everything I was saying felt more like a conversation rather than an interview. Loved it everyone should apply to marks and Spencer’s big up
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Cumbernauld, Scotland) in May 2026
Interview
The interview itself was very awkward, with no formal start to it from the person that I spoke to. I went into the store and asked the only person who didn't look busy, that person ended up being my interviewer however he didn't tell me that until we sat down in an office and the interview started. It really confused me which I think affected my performance
