I only made it to telephone interview, but some of the questions were pretty difficult. The one that especially sticks in mind was "Can you tell us what our trading figures are currently?" - I had no idea how to answer that but with a straight no. I figured that as a deputy manager my role would basically be helping organise a smallish team of employees under the direction of senior management - but apparently you have to know the same stuff as a store manager before even getting to face to face. The guy on the phone was pleasant-ish, but very wooden. Also whenever I asked a question, I was simply told I would have to ask the hiring manager if I made it to interview. So the only real saving grace in this instance was the fact that the rejection arrived promptly.
