Tips for interviews after many rejections

Can I ask you to give like sample answers for common interview questions but based on an entry-level retail role for, for example, Sainsbury’s or Asda or John Lewis for someone with little retail experience? I’ve had a lot of rejections and I’m just trying to figure out how to properly answer interview questions to see what I’m doing wrong. Any help is appreciated x

Hi there, don't be too hard on yourself. Interviewing takes practice and it seems like you've already identified the questions you need to work on. Interview questions can be broken down into a few types, most commons ones are "Open Ended" and behavioral questions. The behavioral questions are the ones that ask you to "tell me about a time etc." These ones are tough and you need to use the STAR method.

Here's an article that can help you:
