I attended the interview this afternoon at the Bolton regional centre (I began my application in April and found out around 2 weeks after my video interview that I had been successful and selected to attend an assessment centre). The video interview questions were very fair, competency-based questions. In the interview it is split into 3 parts: personal introduction, group exercise for around 20-30 minutes, presentation on a given topic on the day. Make sure you do your store walk and take some notes of what you saw. You are given the time to prepare it with paper on the day after you have been given your topic. I thought the assessment centre was very fair and the assessor was very chatty and made it feel quite an informal process - I read some horror stories on here describing it to be very intense, and although I sometimes struggled to get a word in edgeways, I felt that the tasks were very straightforward and weren't there to trip you up whatsoever. The lady said we would hear back in 2 weeks at the latest.

Application was straight forward Video interview was around 6 questions with one minute to think and one minute to record Online test were easier than most jobs on Penn resources- numerical, reading and pattern. Assessment Centre was two hours we discussed a topic for our store walk: Competitor analysis, branding and merchandise, Corporate social responsibility. Then we were given 4 CVs to read and select the best one based off skills, location, feedback. then I had the final interview: CV screening, I was asked who were therein stakeholders in my life, how I would deal with demands of the job ect
