      Customer Assistant Interview

      Apr 17, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Solihull, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Solihull, England) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      The interview was fairly quick and simple. I was taken into a room with two people and asked to take part in a role play where I was a customer assistant and one of the interviewers posed as a customer whilst the other observed. The customer wanted to make a special meal with Parma ham but we didn't have the correct ingredients in stock so I had to offer alternatives to suit the customers needs whilst being polite and friendly. I was given a few sheets of paper with information on the different products and services on offer and a short amount of time to make notes before the role play began. After this I was asked to evaluate my own performance and offered a job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There weren't really any unexpected questions. There was only the role play and questions about my own performance, e.g. "How do you think that went?". I was asked about myself and my experience but only once I had been offered the job.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Milton Keynes, England)

      Interview

      Initially went and the last candidate overran (i waited for 40 minutes extra) so my interview got moved to next week. Original interviewer wasn't available so a colleague performed it. They could not find the interview sheet so had to come up with questions on the spot and get my details again. I was a bit annoyed but I think the interview was okay.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What would you do if you have been given a task but a long queue is building up at tills, and there is only one colleague serving?

      Quite informal, mostly asking about my reasons for applying to them specifically - I recommend looking at their welfare and environmental status, and the fact that their brand is associated with higher quality food

      Why would you choose to work at M&S rather than at another supermarket?
