Questions and Answers about Pets at Home

Research the company. Think of answers for some out of the box questions (A friend of mine was asked what animal they would be for example) but most importantly don't panic because it isn't a typical process, it's hands on, enjoyable and more relaxed but not completely. Be yourself, be cheery, be funny and show charisma.

If you have a slight phobia of snakes and spiders can you work at pets at home?

The recruitment process has changed since the above responses. Now; you complete an application form and submit with your cv. These are reviewed by head office recruitment team. If you pass this stage:
A member of the recruitment team will call you for a telephone interview consisting of around 10-12 questions. This is the hardest stage to get through as only a small number progress to the next stage which is
A combined work trial and interview. You’ll spend about an hour on the shop floor where they assess your customer service , rapport building and engagement, enthusiasms, communication and your manner and attitude when handling the animals. The interview is with a store manager or assistant manager and while quite relaxed and informal there are 15-20 questions that have to be covered. Overall the managers have an assessment guide to how they should judge candidates; but it’ll come down to the interviewing managers decision.

In my case 2 people made it to the final interview for one role.

Can I work here I’m 67

I found out 2 days after the interview but will tell you you will find out within a week.

Terrible culture in the work place. Stpre colleagues never support groomers. Groomers can be legt on their own for 9 hours a day without a single member of staff from the shop checking in on them.

Had a trial shift which included half an hour on tills, half an hour cleaning out an animal and 20 mins to put stock out. Also half an hour 1-1 Interview with many questions such as experience etc.

Actually very good even though i worked more hours than i was supposed to. They won't over work or under work you, though they will offer you hours, just make sure you can manage them.

An hour and a half.
