The fact you have an interview means you are through one of the biggest hurdles!I had a sales assistant interview and then an internal interview for trainee dispenser- that was about 6 years ago now, so its hard to say! I believe that the interview varies depending on who is doing it - some people feel that the template one isn't appropriate.
My best advice: be yourself & be honest! They will be looking for someone who is friendly, approachable & keen to learn. Don't worry

Hi Leanne. Take a little time learning about the company from their own website ie the amount of shops/staff it has, this shows you are willing to learn (which the job you are applying for needs) Who started the company? it may also give you that little edge on the other applicants. Have some questions to ask ie will you be moved around or based in one shop only? Good luck its a great job it you have a good team around you.

Best of Luck
