I had my interview on Friday at Myer Melbourne's Lonsdale Street store. Was my first ever interview, so was as nervous as crazy. But people at my table were quite nice, and the supervisor seemed pretty good too.
You go into a room and are put into tables of around 10-12 other candidates, and there's about 4 tables. Each table has a supervisor that looks over what you do, and assesses whether you'd get job or not basiically. You start with a slideshow about Myer, and the positives about working with Myer, what they look for, and about Myer etc. Before this, you have to fill out forms listing availability and other relevant info. Don't forget to bring the ID.
Then there's three activities. First one involves everyone seperating into two (or three) with the person next to them on table, and talking about who they are, what previous work experience they have had, and why they'd be a good candidate for Myer. Then, you basically sell that person to everyone else at the table.
Next activity involves the group being given a situation (in our case, it your in a busy department, and your being given 5 different scenarios, and what order you'd do them). We had to put in order, a distraught mother, stack of stock on floor which is a safety hazard, long line of customers at checkout, someone on phone for 5 mins waiting, and messy change rooms. Basically in my opinion, safety comes first, then customer service.
The last activity (and the most difficult for me) was that you were given three items to sell (ours was perfume, bed spread and child's t-shirt), and you had to write down a feature, and link a benefit to it. Then you were to choose one of the items, and sell it to the person next to you while everyone else on table watched. I found this task very daunting, and the person next to me was very good at it.
As for dress, everyone there was dressed in business atire, there were a good mix of people in suits, others with shirt and tie, and other ones with just formal shirts or dress. Some came in casual clothing, which I didn't think was too smart. I personally went for black pants, white shirt and a black tie, which is basically Myer's dress code.
Hope this helps
