I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Sep 2014
Interview
I filled an online application, most of which was how do you make an espresso etc. If you don't drink coffee it would have been a hard few questions, one's I didn't know I looked on line for. I found the questions were very much repeated and a bit tedious to be honest. Most of them were more about how sub- servant you are and not a free thinker. Several of them asked do you not seek praise from others, low to high you had to score. It took around 45 minutes on line. The next day you had an email to say you could book an appointment. I had an interview at Remploy in Newcastle, I was nervous and I misunderstood the question been asked of me. I was took in a room to do role play, because I misunderstood the question the interview was terminated there and then. I though that a bit harsh especially as I swotted up on their ten minutes, leaflets. I feel if I was given another go I would be a hard worker, pleasant staff member.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Keep asking me if I often expect praise from others. Also do I always put myself first in situations, this all sounded if I was selfish in having to say low to high to agree. I always put my children before myself but these questions were just de meaning.
IT WAS quick and simple. I thought it went alright but I never heard back from them, not even for a rejection, which was surprising considering the interview went smoothly
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Pudsey, England)
