      Retail Advisor Interview

      Sep 2, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Oxford, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vodafone (Oxford, England)

      Interview

      First of all, you receive an invitation via email to complete a video interview, which is, in my opinion, pretty impersonal. But, if you get through to the next stage you get to speak to the manager, and, in my case, assistant manager or whoever that girl was that has been working there for 7 years. Before the interview you have to prepare a sales presentation of one of the 3 products (flying suit, hover car or robohelp - robot as a house assistant). They ask you loads of questions some of them which are tricky to answer as you are selling something that doesn't really exist. But, it is and can be fun making up things while improvising. After that, you get a customer issue scenario that you get 15 minutes to prepare for. That can be quite challenging as it's about an unhappy customer wanting to leave the company and of course you have to do everything you can to make them stay. Regardless of my experience in the same industry, I didn't get an offer and I can imagine why. They expect you to work EVERY weekend, as these are the busiest days. Now, I understand that and I am not afraid of hard work but for a company who claim "We're at our best when you are at yours" they could take better care of their employees. To my question if there's a chance for employees to work one day of the weekend and have another one off, they looked at me as if I was asking to get paid for not coming into work at all. You are also expected to come in 15 min early and leave 15 min late, and on Saturdays 30 min early (because of the morning briefings), which you don't get paid for. You care about your employees? Let them have the work / life balance. They don't pay that well that I would commit all of my time to them while putting my life on hold. So even if I had gotten an offer, I would not have accepted it.

      Retail Advisor Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Selby, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Vodafone (Selby, England) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      First of all I made the quest after that one day after I receive an email that say I will be called for a telephone interview in the next day, I was called at 11 in the morning there was a problem with my signal the operator seems too busy to wait another 5 minutes because she said that she has another interview in 20 minutes, and we managed to have an interview a few hours later at 4 a clock, it was the shortest interview I ever had, she asks me: are you studying? and I said I don't know I'm thinking to go to Uni next year, but I don't know I said that I will put the job my first priority and it's just a wish to go to university after that I said clearly that if I have a full time job and secure I will not go and anyway I don't know if go or not, so her answer was: If you are thinking of going to University next year, it’s not something you can 100% commit to. Vodafone is looking for people that can stay with the company long term, but with the potential of your going to University and without knowing what your timetable would be etc, we cannot currently progress your application. I may not be the best candidate for the job, but still I deserve a chance, this is not fair.. this is how i feel right now...
