I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Ivy Collection (Kensington, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
The process was straightforward; you simply need to complete a trial shift to demonstrate your abilities and fit for the role. This trial shift will provide an opportunity for both you and the employer to assess how well you can perform the required tasks in a real work environment. It’s a chance to showcase your skills, work ethic, and how you interact with the team.
