I interviewed at Mamas & Papas (Birmingham, England) in October 2017.

Phone interview with basic questions about yourself and Face to Face interview. Really relaxing atmosphere, starting with a presentation about yourself, a 3 pages interview with super easy questions based on your personal, previous experience in a similar position and a practical test.
Interview Questions
- Basic questions from your personal experience and a practical test: selling a pushchair. But most interested in your ability to interact with people rather than knowing the product, as training is provided when starting the role. Answer Question

Application
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Mamas & Papas in October 2017.
Interview
I applied online with a very quick application and heard within 2 hours for a telephone interview. I had no response to my email reply but the following day I was called and asked if I would like to attend a face to face interview the day after which I did. The interviewer wasn’t very enthusiastic and quite miserable, they even called me over by the wrong name. They actually put a lot of my answers down which felt quite unprofessional and the interviewer looked like they wanted to be somewhere else and kept looking away and checking the door. Just all very unprofessional and off putting.

Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Mamas & Papas (Huddersfield, England) in June 2015.
Interview
I was called by a talent spotting agency who were working on Mamas & Papas behalf. I was basically sold the job, rather than them asking me to sell myself – they told me about how the company was going through some big changes and how this would be a great time to start working there. I was then offered an interview with the customer service manager, who again, pretty much sold me the job – I didn’t speak much throughout the interview at all, her main interest in me was whether I could work weekends and how I would feel about working under intense pressure. Within 2 hours I was called by the agency and asked if I would consider lowering my salary expectations as the company did not feel I had potential to work as a level 3 handler there (with a starting wage of £17k).
