What does it take to impress Kingfisher interviewers, and how can I best showcase it effectively in a short timeframe?

Hi Kevin, when interviewing it would be great to demonstrate you show a strong alignment to the company values, showcasing your relevant skills and experiences, and effectively communicating your potential to contribute to the Kingfisher goals.

Kingfisher places a strong emphasis on its core values, including sustainability, customer focus, innovation, and teamwork. They also prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion. So a good idea would be to research their current projects such as sustainability initiatives like "Forest Positive" or community support programs, prepare examples of how your values align with theirs.

You'll likely be assessed on your ability to grasp supply chain management concepts and apply them practically, such as analytical thinking and problem-solving, communication, collaboration, adaptability and eagerness to learn. A good idea would be to relate past experiences like academic, professional, or volunteering to specific supply chain challenges. Share examples of your teamwork or leadership in resolving complex problems. And prepare for behavioural and technical questions, you may encounter scenario-based questions or technical challenges, think on your STAR method stories. For technical questions, focus on demonstrating logical thinking, even if you don’t know the exact answer.
