  1. Congratulations on landing the interview at BigW! Here are some things you can expect and tips on what to prepare:

    What to Expect:

    1. Common Interview Questions:
    2. Tell me about yourself: A brief introduction focusing on your background and experiences.
    3. Why do you want to work at BigW?: Be prepared to talk about what interests you in the company.
    4. Describe a time you provided excellent customer service: Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for your response.
    5. How do you handle difficult customers?: Share any experiences and your approach to conflict resolution.
    6. What are your strengths and weaknesses?: Focus on strengths that relate to the job and weaknesses you’re working on improving.

    What to Bring:

    • Copies of Your Resume: Even if they have a copy, it’s a good idea to bring extras.
    • Identification: Bring some form of ID, like your driver’s license, in case they need to verify your identity.
    • Questions for Them: Prepare a couple of questions to ask about the role, the team, or the store’s goals. This shows your interest and engagement.

    Additional Tips:

    • Dress Appropriately: Aim for smart casual—something that reflects the store’s environment but is still professional.
    • Arrive on Time: Punctuality is key, so plan your route and allow for extra time to avoid any delays.
    • Be Friendly and Approachable: Retail is all about customer interaction, so a positive attitude and good communication are essential.
