I applied online. I interviewed at B&Q (Gainsborough, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
Ridiculously hard interview for a part time, minimum wage job. Loads of really difficult questions, followed by having to prepare and perform x2 10 minute long presentations with 15 minutes to prepare in front of two interviewers. Crazy difficult, and I'd already been a shift leader for 2 years at another shop before.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
prepare a 10 minute presentation about briefing staff about a 20% loyalty card offer, prepare a 10 minute presentation on how you'd lecture an employee for not giving expert advice to a customer.
It was an easy process and the people were welcoming, it was well organised and the interviewers made me feel comfortable and clearly explained the roles and expectations that's my experience
