I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NEXT (Orpington, England) in Sep 2020
Interview
Interview was fairly easy and was first over the phone. If you pass that then they will invite you over to the store and watch how you interact with customers. Nothing to worry about or be nervous of.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NEXT (Havant, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
very slow process, it took over 3 weeks for a response and I had to eventually contact them myself which led to me being ignored. The lady was really nice in my first stage of my interview but I have heard rumours that the company is not great to work for.
Typical customer service questions. Explain a time you helped someone, working as a team, working independently, tell me a little bit about yourself. What are kpis. What is good customer service
