      Store Manager Interview

      9 Dec 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chatham, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at O2 (Chatham, England) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      After applying online I was emailed about completing an online assessment. This involved 3 tests which are relatively straight forward. After completing this I was asked again via email to complete a video interview online. This is a simple interview where you record yourself giving answers to some basic competency based questions. After this I had a telephone interview and eventually a face to face interview. During the formal face to face interview you are tasked with reading a presentation based on a fake phone shop that is underperforming, you then use this information to do a 15 minute presentation. To go through the entire process took just over 4 weeks with large gaps between each when you would appreciate at least some feedback. I was unfortunately unsuccessful after the face to face interview and was very surprised by this as I came out the interview feeling very positive and had no doubt my experience matched what they were looking for. The interviewer told me about the store I could be managing in a lot of detail and after the 15 minute presentation they even mentioned how they usually have questions however I managed to cover everything. Of course I never thought I was a guaranteed this role and there would be a lot of interest, however what really disappointed me was after 5 weeks from my first application I received a standard generic rejection email. How a company that states to be ‘all about their people’ can reject someone with a very standard email is beyond me. The email did state if you would like further feedback please contact us. I have tried to chase and contact them three times now via email and phone and haven’t heard anything. Very disappointing and unprofessional end to the process and very surprising given the organisations global reputation.

      Store Manager Interview

      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at O2 (London, England) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      It was quite relaxed... almost informal. It was more like a conversation if anything. There was a script but my interviewer did not stick to it. There was no pressure

      Tell me how you manage underperforming sales members

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review around our interview process for the role of Store Leader. It is great to see that you had a positive experience and that you accepted the offer and that you are still part of the o2 family.
