Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en NEXT (Leicester, Inglaterra) en jun 2016
Entrevista
Starts with an online application, which includes questions about Next, such as where they source products from, most of which can be googled if necessary. Then there are verbal and numerical reasoning tests, which aren't too difficult if you are any good at maths. After that is a video interview, where you record your answers to three questions that you are given. You can re-record your answers as many times as you want to. This is just to show them that you are a normal person and enthusiastic about the role. Once this is passed, there is a telephone interview which takes approximately 30 minutes. This involves some situational judgment questions and some maths questions (mostly percentage based), so make sure you have a calculator. The final stage is then an assessment day, where you have either a morning or afternoon session. This involves an interview of approximately 80 minutes and then a group exercise. The number of applicants at the assessment I was at was small, only 5 of us in total.

Can be time consuming as the first stage is to submit your CV and cover letter, then you are asked to answer some questions in a video style format, followed by an virtual interview and then an assessment day.

If you cannot handle quick fire maths questions, this may not be an ideal role for you.

The first stage, after submitting your CV and a cover letter, is a simple video interview where you must submit answers (pre-recorded) to 3 questions. The questions were relatively simple and you could re-record your answers if you made any mistakes. The third question was more scenario based where they gave you an example of something that could go wrong and you needed to give options to prevent it happening in the future. The second part of this stage is a maths test with around 10 questions. It isn't timed but they do say they keep track of how long you took for each, and factor that and if they are correct, into your final result.
Very scenario heavy and requires you to know a lot about merchandising in general. Some maths questions also involved, simple maths however. Best of luck to all applying to the role.
