Very easy and smooth interview process. Part of it was in french and the other in dutch. It was slightly unexpected but the questions and situations were not challenging.
they also talked about the organization's core values and how those matched with me as a person.
My first job was at the Corktree retail park location in Chingford and the interview process was accommodating, I was 16 at the time so while they didn't ask much about prior experience, they framed their questions around challenges solved in school and what stood out to me about the environment, getting me to think like someone who may be working there and how things could e.g, be improved.
