quick and easy informal chat regarding my availability and my previous experience in retail and why Next in particular. Followed by what i should expect during the peak season and how my hours may be altered as per the store's demand.

Online application followed by a telephone interview with the store manager. I was asked 3 interview questions, listed below, I was then invited to a store assessment 2 days later. At the assessment I was asked to approach customers, tidy the store and choose an outfit for a girl who is a tomboy. The store assessment lasted an hour. I was given a £10 gift card and the manager told me I would be contacted by email, however I received a phone call offering me the job as soon as I left. Attended induction the following day and started a week later.
