Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a time when you've displayed leadership skills
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WHSmith (Aberdeen, Scotland) in May 2018
Interview
After applying online, I recieved a phone interview which was very situational based looking for examples of situations I had been in and what I did in the situation. I was then invited to a face to face interview with two managers, both were very friendly and made me feel welcome. I was asked similar questions but this time was more conversational so they could explore what I was telling them. We also talked about the company and position which was a good opertunity for me to show what I already knew and also ask further questions.
