Two activity in the interview, group and individual activity where you have to present to other candidates with managers writing comments on your profile. Your communication and presentation skills are taken in account but essentially, their focus was on your personality and style. If you was dress updated fashion tread, you are more likely to be hire than other candidates.

I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Birmingham, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Group interview of around 15. First task was saying your name a bit about you out loud, just general information it seems like name age what you do. Then the second task was writing down good customer service and bad customer service in your little group and reading it out to the group. During this, they are checking to see what you say, but try not to talk over anyone but definitely stand out. The second task was getting clothes from the shop floor presenting your outfit and explaining your choice. I don’t believe they cared too much about your previous experience but rather your personality.
