Interview
I was invited in to present a PowerPoint to discuss and outline sales strategies and explain how I work. This was then followed by a casual conversation and show round
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SOL Retail
Interview
Was sat waiting for over an hour whilst the interview was in a meeting. No apology was given then just led in to what looked like a store room. Was pretty much talked down to the whole time, asked unrelated questions, some not even very professional: why do I need to tell an employer whether I have a partner or whether I go to clubs on the weekend? Was then taken upstairs to meet the 'boss', where more inappropriate questions were asked. After an hour they offered me the job, I said I would think about it. I turned them down the next day. Walking around the office felt depressing.
