Cath Kidston Job interview

So, I had an interview at Cath Kidston this weekend and I was absolutely terrified! I hardly found any information online so I went into it feeling slightly under prepared. Fortunately, it was one of the nicest interviews I had ever had. Just in case anyone has an interview for Cath Kidston coming up or has one in retail, here's some general information I wish I had known before going into the interview.

1) Cath Kidston is huge on teamwork, so arrive early and talk to some of the store members. For example, I learnt some of their names and when a question came up about teamwork, I was like "Oh, I was just talking to e.g. Lauren about that"

2) Research the brand! It's really likely that you will be asked "So, what do you know about Cath Kidston?" Make sure you know the brand inside and out so you're not caught out on this question. Likewise, if you're going for any retail shop, research the brand!

3) Do not give generic answers! You want to make yourself sound interesting and desirable, talk about your love for fashion and what you can bring to the store.

Please don't think this advice is limited to Cath Kidston, you can use this at any retail shop. Just be really smiley and bubbly because at the end of the day they just want warm, friendly people to greet customers.
