They wanted a manager on the cheap for £7 something. Expected to do return to work, interviews, all holidays, and staff rotas and come in during the week for a handover as a weekend only supervisor for no pay. They wanted a sole responsibility for sale period changeovers meaning the advertised hours would rarely be stuck to.
A rusher interview, they didn't know anything about!
A very different experience from my telephone interview which went positively.
Managers should conduct the phone interview, would have saved me a wasted journey to interview. Should not be outsourced to recruitment centre that don't know anything about the store.
They never got back to me with an answer.

Pretty simple, questions were straight forward
Normal competency based questions relating to customer service and how you would deal with various situations
You then had to tell the manager a bit about yourself and what skills you feel may be useful in the role

Phone Interview - took about 30minutes - simple questions, although wasn't allowed to answer fully - I was cut off by the interviewee which made me even more nervous. Was told I will hear back either by email of the phone, but nobody called me back or emailed. I only found out that my application is withdrawn when I logged in to my Debenhams Career Site.
