I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Cambridge, England) in Jul 2014
Interview
I had applied online in July and had to do an online questionnaire which then determined if you would go on to an interview or not. I passed this in the same day and booked my interview for 2 days after, it was an interview for an hour and I had to do a role play with the interviewer while the other wrote, I was given information on a fictional store and had to sell to and help out a customer, it was a bit hard but i got through it all though I kept on repeating my self (My downfall) after that the interviewers left the room and then another interviewer probably a manger cam in and then asked me some question, why do you want to work for M&S etc. it went really well and she was very surprised by my answers, they then left the room again and I was in there for a good 10 minutes, they later came in and said I wasn't successful. I was just annoyed that I spent an hour of my life in a really hot room and didn't end up getting the job

I applied online. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Waterlooville, England)
Interview
Very quick to respond and friendly. Online assessment was ok to do. The interview in person was relaxed and informative. Felt they just wanted to get to know you professionally and how this role works for you and see if you know lots about m&s
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Moortown, Yorkshire and the Humber, England)
Interview
Seemed like they were not interested in looking at the profile genuinely anyway and they were just fulfilling a formality. Would not recommend as at this stage, the managers seem judgemental and biased

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Chester, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
I applied online and completed a right to work check online and then got called in to do an interview a few days later. They were very rude to me, made me wait 20 minutes and threatened to turn me away because I didn't bring my ID (I already completed my RTW check). The manager then made sarcastic comments and tried to gaslight me into saying that I missed that they told me to bring my ID, despite me telling them I didn't and even offered to show them my emails. Overall it was very unprofessional and felt very hostile,
