The whole process took about two weeks. I initially completed a brief online form and received an e-mail telling me I had been shortlisted the next day. A few days later I received a call from the store manager asking for a brief phone interview; I felt unprepared as I hadn't received any kind of heads-up about this. They asked mostly simple and generic questions like why I wanted to work for Next, previous experience, etc. I was then asked to come into the store for an assessment. One other applicant was there and the manager wasn't expecting us. Had a brief health and safety induction where visors were given to us to wear, then we were separated. I was asked to complete a task wherein I had to pick out an outfit for an occasion and explain my choices. After this I was brought into an office where I was talked through the job description, asked to confirm my availability, etc. The whole process took around 40 minutes and I received an e-mail the next day telling me I had been unsuccessful. In between the unexpected phone call and the manager's disorganisation I did not feel too confident that this would have been the right position for me anyway.
