I applied online. I interviewed at Superdrug (Bristol, England)
Interview
Very easy interview, asked me basic questions about ‘what’s a time you faced a challenge’, ‘when have you had to deal with a bad customer’ etc. It didn’t feel necessarily personalised and more just learning the basic things about someone’s customer service. It was a very quick interview.
