Argos interview

[Callum.]

Has anyone ever worked there / had an interview there?

I applied on Saturday and got a call today saying I have an interview Saturday morning. This is my first interview so I'm not sure what'll be asked. It's like an hour and a half to two hours long, so will I need to be doing something practical based?

Any help'll be useful.

If its about 2 hours long then you will most likely be doing something practical like team work with other people or a maths and english test maybe.

They will ask you questions like why do you want to work for us?, where do you see yourself in 10 years time maybe? what can you bring to argos?

Er, you may get induction aswell. But if your going for an intrerview, then it maybe a test?

Er, most people ask;
What you want to do here
Why are you here
What can you offer us
Why would i want to work with you
Why you and not someone else - words like, i work hard and motivated work here.

just dont say your the for the money.
best i can give you is, think of 5 questions you think they will ask. And say them to yourself and then say an answer, which is honest but sounds great like

Why you and nobody else - Well, im a hardworking, sociable person that is motivated by work. Example

Thanks.

I was thinking of questions along those lines but it's pretty common sense really, just got to tell them what they want to hear. I don't think it'll be too bad, it's just the thought of being there for two hours. It's not in the store which I applied for, although if I pass i'll be working in the one I applied for.

Probably some kind of role play thing with a pretend customer if its that long

Yeah, my mum mentioned that. If it is I'm not sure if I'll crack under pressure. I worked as an ice cream vendor for a year or so and could deal with customers easy, but say a future manager, I'm not sure haha.

And you have an interview with Store manager. But i went down stairs after about 2 months of being there and said ive had enough of you and this **** company im gone in 2 days.

i work at argos, LOL, CRINGE :X

and what most people have said here is wrong
it will be a group interview and you will firstly be put in pairs and asked to talk to that person for a few minutes then introduce them to the group, the split into groups of like 3/4 and asked to do an activity like make a new argos uniform, superhero or a leaflet, then you have to do a number work sheet and then it's over.
