I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dunelm (Chelmsford, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview went well. I received a few questions about specific work scenarios and how I would manage them. I have years of experience in retail. I thought I would get the position. Weeks passed, and they didn't even let me know they didn't want me for the position. It was the first time it had happened to me. Unprofessional at last.

I applied online. I interviewed at Dunelm (Altrincham, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Was with two people, both of which were very nice. Asked you mainly questions that they had about your CV. They interviewed 13 people for this one job. I was rejected the day after even though my interview went well, I have fully availability, previous experience in retail and I'm a local to the area. Not sure what else they wanted. I've asked for feedback but haven't received anything.
