I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Currys (Scarborough, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied online through their website. After completing one of those scenario question things I received a call from a member of staff asking me to come in for an interview. Interview was relaxed with one member of staff. He was very nice (a bit cocky) we chatted about computers and other stuff not really related to the job. We both decided that sales wasn't really for me but he did say that I would be good working on the know how desk and that he would let me know if any jobs came up.

Question 1
Basic boring interview questions, tell me about yourself, why did you apply for this job etc
Briefly talk about skills in upselling and sales pitches with customers. They are more interested in upselling insurances and add-on products/services. Technical knowledge on products is not necessary, they will ask you about your ability to hit targets and KPIs every month.

first interview quite easy-going, then if successful, called back for a second interview with the manager. Asked pretty much the same questions plus some that seemed irrelevant that you can't really elaborate on
