I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2013
Interview
complete a online test, its a role play and you answer, the questions if you pass this you receive a interview straight away, at the interview you have a role play you are usually playing the customer assistant and you have the assessor being a customer, after you have a interview with a manager which can be informal in a chatty style.

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
