Usually asked about staff management. Ways to motivate staff (impossible in sportsworld) and performance management. Remember 3 strikes then take to disciplibnary procedure.

Performance figures. Christmas usually busiest period (was in WH Smiths). Understand the need to work towards targets.

What are your thoughts on customer service - treat people like you want to be treated (trust me). What would you do to improve in store applying for.

Usually ask how you would improve store. Don't get too complictaed just show you have some ideas.

Give good examples of problem solving you have done as that will be mostly what you job will entail.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Appear calm, confident and professional. Don't appear to easy to please.

Answer 3

Dress for success and be confident. Assure them that you are looking for a very long term position. You have an aptitude for leadership and customer service that you want to develop. Since you are sports-minded and posess the aforementioned talents, you are a natural. Assure them that you are 100% interested in a long retail career and will put your all into it. Let them know you mean business, no fooling around. You have a good sense of humor so as not to take yourself too seriously. You be this person and you are a shoe-in.

Answer 4

They are looking for someone who can do the job. Just relax and be yourself and if you are that person then it will come through. They expect you to be nervous so don't worry about that. If you pretend to be someone your not they either know that or if you get the job it will quickly become obvious that your the wrong person and you wont last.
Oh and don't pretend you know something when you don't knowledge is easily learned once you are in the job.
