I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Toys "R" Us (Preston)
Interview
The larger activities were run by a recruitment firm. They put you in small groups and asked you solve a problem, obviously to check your teamwork ability. Then they split off into 1-on-1 interviews with store managers where they asked more personal questions and tested how strong you were at building rapport, etc.
Met with the manager and it straightforwaed, asked about prior experience and what toys did I grow up with. It was pretty informal and they said they would get back to me in a week.
