It was a full morning interview, starting with a 1:1 interview where the manager asked me questions about myself, and then job-based competency questions and about my customer service experience. We then did a group task and had to pack bags on the till.
Open and clear to understand interview process, and I was kept up to date with my progress throughout. They were also extremely accommodating to make sure I was comfortable at all stages of the process.
During the first-round interview, the interviewer devoted almost the entire session to examining my prior experience in depth. We walked chronologically through key projects, drilled into the technical stack I chose for each, and discussed the measurable outcomes—such as performance gains, cost savings, and user-engagement uplifts. Follow-up questions probed my decision-making process, challenges I encountered, and how I collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders, giving them a detailed, story-driven understanding of my professional track record.
