      Senior Retail Assistant Interview

      7 Nov 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Waterford
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Oxfam (Waterford)

      Interview

      Terrible. Very difficult questions, not at all like what a question for a sales assistant would be. Very little about my experience, More about increasing profits - questions were very much geared towards a management position. Two people on the panel, and it was via Microsoft Teams. By the end of the interview, it was made clear to me that this position is more for an assistant store manager, not a retail assistant (senior or otherwise). And for a little more than minimum wage, it is certainly not worth it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you increase profits in the store? What would you do differently in the store? How would you get more volunteers? How would you retain volunteers?
