      Store Manager Interview

      Jun 1, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Watford, East of England, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wickes (Watford, East of England, England) in May 2016

      Interview

      Was invited to interview via an external Recruiter (who was excellent throughout the process) at the Watford HQ. Had to prepare a SWOT on a store prior to the meeting which I did. Arrived at the appointed time to find the interviewer I was briefed on was not doing the interview. After a bit of confusion the front desk finally found out another colleague was interviewing instead. I was kept waiting for 30 mins from arrival until I was seen with no real apology. Sat down with a Regional Manager & HR - 30 mins on my CV going through previous roles, before ignoring 2 most recent, & relevant roles, to skip through the SWOT in 10 mins, before I was outside feeling rather deflated at the whole episode. Whole interview felt rushed & they didn't really want to be there, or perhaps were behind time for the day. Really poor experience considering it was a Store Manager interview. Unfortunately the experience, & levels of staff/customer engagement I saw on my Store visits seems to reflect on my HQ experience.
