I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Decathlon (Montecatini-Terme) in Sep 2019
Interview
First you get a call from the interviewer asking if you are itnerested in exploring the possibility of working for Decathlon and also asking some general questions about sports, passions, and the like. Once at the in-person interview, you are alone with the store manager or deputy. I was asked the same initial questions asked over the phone and then asked whether or not I was a student and what my job intentions were. After that they "tested" me by asking me how I would solve an organizational problem of a new collection proposed by the store. Specifically where I would relocate this collection being in between two types of sports. I gave my argometric answer and they let me out right after that. As they walked me to the door, I was asked more questions always related to my expectations and ambitions, I guess to see if I was serious about working for them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Studies? - Do you want to study? - What sport do you play or are you passionate about? - Are you flexible about working hours? - What do you think about Decathlon? - Would you know how to solve this problem? (related to the problem mentioned above)
Unico colloquio in cui c’è stato un cultural fit check ed alcune domande situazionali. Il tutto è durato circa 1 ora. Sono stati professionali e mi hanno messo a mio agio.
Rather easy, be honest and tell them what division you prefer. For full-time you will work in shifts and only have 1 weekend free per month. Already practicing a sport and knowing the basic equipment is a big plus
The interview process took around 1h but went very smoothly. Hiring manager was nice even though sometimes asked some tricky questions (but I mean, it's part of the process). Overall I would consider it average.
