I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Oct 2012
Interview
Well I had a phone interview in which I was successful and got told to come in for an assessment day. In which there was a role play exercise involving me being a sales advisor and a customer coming in and saying they needed food quickly for a party that night what would I recommended. There were cards lay out on the desk and I had to choose the relevant ones which were quick and required the least prep time.
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
