I applied online for a second time after failing the first online test. I applied online for a store in London. It took them three days after I applied to call me for a phone interview. I was slightly unprepared as I didn't think I would actually get the job as I am under 18 but in the end I was told to come in for a face to face interview the next day.
I arrived at the shop 15 minutes early in a blazer and skirt where I met the duty manager.
The session was to be divided into three. The discovery session - where I met other staff and spoke to some customers for an hour. That was okay as I wasn't particularly shy around others. Then next part was the role play, in which I was given a sheet with different tablets and the manager took the role of a customer. That part was mostly common sense. Then the last part was competency interview. And for that part I interview I talked to two different managers. Altogether my experience lasted about 3 hours for some reason.
I applied online. I interviewed at Currys (Santry) in Mar 2013
Interview
Competency based with some tech questions. Tell me about your favorite technology. What you know about Carphone Warehouse. Standard questions. Interview took 40 mins and was enjoyable. The guy was fair and wanted to know me as a person and not just box ticking. Handed me my CV to talk through, rather than trying to catch me out like normal ones. Got a call on time as agreed and they were excited when offering.

Interview
I had a phone interview a week ago, later on that day I got a call asking me to come in the following Saturday for a face to face interview. They sent me an email with necessary information, in terms of what to bring and what to expect. When I arrived I was asked to sign in and there I met one manager. I was asked to come into a room and there I met both managers. I was asked to to a role play (which was trying to sell a tablet to a customer - which was played by the manager as the customer). Then I got an opportunity to shadow a colleague and ask relevant questions regarding the job role.
