The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Argos (Lucan) in Sep 2020
Interview
Applied a month before they called me and asked the generic question why u want to work here etc and then invited me for onsite interview the next usually lasts an hour but due to COVID I was there for 15mins and the interview was the best one I ever did . I received a warm welcome from the operations manager and it was one of the first times a colleague was interviewing so she was nervous also as was I . She asked the usual questions . I answer everything perfectly and I was so comfortable there there relaxed energy really made me less nervous about the interview . I got a call back 4 days later saying I got the job and I was the best interviews they ever had which was a huge compliment !!
The Argos interview was structured and professional, with competency-based questions and a clear focus on customer service. The interviewer was friendly and calm, making the process feel fair, organised, supportive. Overall it was a standard retail interview about experience and availability
