      I interviewed at Specsavers

      Interview

      Very quick and casual felt very nervous but they made sure to make me feel at ease. The interview it’s self went for about 15-20 minutes and got a job offer the next day. Would highly recommend doing research on company as that can be advantageous

      Application

      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.
