I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Complete One (South Shields, England)
Interview
Interview process where you go to an event, pay for your own travel and sit in a coffee shop or anywhere that will let you sit for around 6-8 hours. Takes a full day in which your interviewer leaves you for hours at a time whilst trying to make a living doing the job your applying for. Comes back and sets you “tasks” or rather questions to take your mind off what the job is really like.
They then do a business breakdown where they write I paper what you will not earn and try to draw the attention away from the fact you will most likely leave in s matter of months regretting that you took the job

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in the next year/ 5 years
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review.
At Complete One we invest a great deal of time into our extensive three stage interview process to ensure that candidates are fully assessed and also provided with a thorough insight into what we do, the clients we work with and where they could potentially fit in.
Your description is not what the observation process should entail and it's very disappointing to read. The whole purpose of the observation day is to have candidates shadow one of our representatives, seeing first hand how we conduct sales and marketing campaigns on behalf of our clients and how we acquire customers.
It's really disappointing to read about your experience, however you do state that you accepted the offer which is incredibly surprising given you state the process was negative.
Best of luck in the future.
