I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Argos (Walthamstow, England) in Jun 2014
Interview
Very relaxed, informal, friendly. The manager made me feel welcome and let me talk about myself first and then moved onto the more technical questions about the company. It felt more like a discussion than an interview.
