I applied online. I interviewed at Currys (Birmingham, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
I applied through Dixons website for a part-time job in carphone warehouse (Store in Store). Received a phone call within few days from the store manager who asked few general questions and explained about pay rate and working hours. I interviewed at a Pcworld store, it lasted about 25 minutes. just 4 competency questions and role play where they asked me to sell them my phone. I thought the questions were very basic competency based and I did well but they wanted someone with more experience in target selling. Got an email after 5 days saying they wont take my application any furthur.
