I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Clarks (London, England) in Jun 2014
Interview
Group interview with 5 other people with two managers at the local clarks store. We had to answer questions individually whilst others were listening. We had to pick out a shoe from the store that reflected our personality and why e.g. colourful shoe, glittery, simple yet chic etc... They were aiming to pick 3 girls out of the 6 and I heard the next day that I was successful. The whole experience lasted about a week and the group interview itself lasted half an hour!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Got given a picture of a typical customer at Clarks and told to go pick out a shoe that would fit their style and look and why and then attempt to sell it.
A group interview. A good level of contact beforehand and after, you had to choose a shoe to pitch and pitch it in front of the group. You also had to talk a bit about yourself.
Easy, short, relevant questions - interviewers were all friendly and genuinely wanted to help you answer questions to the best of your ability. Felt very at ease and relaxed at all times throughout.
Choose a shoe and then create a pitch to sell us this shoe. Explain why someone should buy the shoe that you have decided to choose and try to sell us.
