I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Whistles (Belfast City Centre, Northern Ireland) in Nov 2022
Interview
Applied online and got a phone call to invite me for an interview. Spoke about previous professional experience and a bit of a general chat about personality. Took place in the back of the store with the store manager. Overall was a nice experience.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Whistles in Nov 2023
Interview
First had a telephone call with the SM then was invited for a in-store interview where I met the team and looked around the store. It was quite informal as the interview felt more like an chat which I loved. Manager was very friendly and easy to talk too.

Question 1
Tell me about your self and why did you want this role? What is your management style like?
Hired internally so felt like a natural progression to supervisor. Standard interview questions similar to those for Sales Advisor but with more emphasis on managing other people. Overall good process.
