I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Debenhams (Plymouth, England) in Sept 2017
Interview
I had a phone interview and was successful. Questions were mostly very basic such as Why Debenhams? What is great customer Service? Examples of how you dealt with angry/happy customer. Why team work is important? And why should we hire you? It all took 30 minuets and after a few days I received a call back inviting me for a group activities.
Group activities were approximately 2hrs long. First part was an ice breaker, included questions like: which country you would like to travel to the most, your idol, and a funny fact about yourself. Second part involved working as a team. Activities included such things as: what is great customer service give at least 10 examples. How do you treat an angry customer, give at least 5 examples, etc. Try to stand out as an individual but DO use word WE, shows that you are a team player. Third part was face to face interview, questions were the same as during phone interview.
Hard but just research the company and you will be ok. Plenty of research and positive energy, warm greetings . Be nice and show good customer service and explain why you

Interview
Applied online, then a few days just in the middle of the day got a call from them and i’ve been asked simple questions through the phone which I completely wasn’t prepared for lol but still asked me to come for a face to face interview on a specific day, when i went there it was a group interview!! The staff was very friendly to be honest, asked some questions, then paired us and set us off on a task. After the group interview they interviewed each one of us individually, felt the questions was tricky, at the end of the interview they told me that they won’t reply back if I’m not getting the job! But they did email me anyway saying I didn’t get it.
Applied online, then there was a telephone interview although if you did not pass the sift then no interview. Then got told after the call if you were unsuccessful or successful, then a group assessment and a further one to one interview asking about flexibility and further questions.
