Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult customer and how did you handle it?
There were two interviewers in the room who were very kind and friendly, made the whole process feel at ease. Got asked pretty standard interview questions. The whole interview was fairly brief and quick.
I applied online. I interviewed at Specsavers (Newbury, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
I went to Specsavers for an interview and had a great experience. The lady interviewing me was very kind and the questions were very thorough and gave me plenty of room to display how I would be a good fit. I want to WARN people, since I didn't see anyone mention already, there was a maths test halfway through.
This caught me off guard but it was very simple adding and percentages and they even gave me a calculator. There was also a simple priority question and a filing exercise.
Then there was a second page of questions and some more information about the role. At the end she offered me some dates for a trial shift which I accepted.
