I applied online. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Stoke-on-Trent, England) in Sep 2014
Interview
A friend passed the online interview, then went for the next interview. Did the role play etc. Was told she hadn't got the position but would she like some feedback. She was then told she was one of the most polite people he had interviewed in the last 3 weeks/months but was not 'aggressive enough' but to re-apply again in 6 months time. Why does he think she will be more aggressive by then? I would prefer to be served/helped by a polite person than an aggressive one. unbelievable

Very chilled out interview with a few questions about simple stuff like what you would do in a confrontational event. Really nice interviewer, felt more like a chat than an interview.

The interview lasted about 40 minutes, with a lot of questions about how you have handled situations previously and why you are a good candidate for them. Overall, an average interview just come prepared with the latest news and up to date product knowledge of the company.

Very relaxed, asked about 4 questions, generic ones like tell me about yourself. Then asked more skills based ones, like a time you worked well under pressure. But overall good
