Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to overcome a difficult situation
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Currys (North Acton, England) in May 2013
Interview
20 people in one room given sales questions and asked to answer around the table in order. Four sales Managers briefed us what would happen during each phase of the questions and answers. Managers picked from the interviewees the one or ones they felt would best fit in with their particular sales group. I was then pulled aside vy one manager who asked me why I answered the light buld question the way I did. I answered "Why leave money on the table, someone has to supply fault switches?"
