Interview
Very chilled out interview with a few questions about simple stuff like what you would do in a confrontational event. Really nice interviewer, felt more like a chat than an interview.

Interview
The interview was really friendly and felt like a chat. Asked a couple of generic ‘tell me about a time when…’ questions. While I didn’t have any retail experience it was easy to tailor hospitality experience into it. I heard back quickly regarding outcome.

Interview
A genuinely lovely interview experience. They were very warm, friendly, and easy to speak with, which made me feel comfortable almost immediately. The conversation flowed naturally and felt much more human and relaxed than I expected. Although I wasn’t selected for the role, I left with a very positive impression of the team.

Question 1
They asked about my general work experience, even outside of the specific sector. I appreciated that they acknowledged the value of all kinds of experience and seemed genuinely interested in understanding me as a person rather than only focusing on directly related roles.
