The manager did more talking than me and didn't ask about my past experience. Only about my future plans. I thought this odd. I learnt about about the manager during my interview and not so much about the business.

Entrevista
After applying online, I received a phone call inviting me to an in-person interview. It went well (or so I thought), and they said they'd get back to me soon with an outcome, but unfortunately I was completely ghosted afterwards.
I decided to call the branch a week later to follow up, but the person who interviewed me was unavailable. The person on the phone said they'd pass on a message and get them to call me back, but they never did.
I also asked for an email to try them on, and was given the generic branch address. I sent an email thanking them for inviting me in and to ask if there was an update, but heard nothing.
I didn't get an automated response from the Howdens careers site, either. Three months later, it still says 'Your application is being processed.'

Very informal chat for first round with the depot manager/owner, mostly talking through CV then went on a tour of the building and facilities. Was invited for second round but didn't go as had accepted something else.
