I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Local World (Nottingham, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
Simple, really. One interview with two managers (who within 18 months had quit the business).
Nothing unusual to report here in terms of the interview process. Was made an offer within 24 hours.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Local World in Aug 2014
Interview
The process went very smoothly. I was given clear instruction in terms of the job specification, where I needed to be and when. It was also very clear what was expected of me at interview.
The interview was neither formal, nor informal (a bit of both really). It was a one and one session with the person who would become my line manager.
The experience was very comfortable and I have no complaints.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was self employed, so explaining why I was going back into employment rather than carrying on my business was a tough one to explain.
