"Describe a situation where you used sales data or customer insight to drive a commercial decision."
"Give an example of when you managed a team or led a project under peak trading pressure."

Frequently asked questions

Does Comet use a video or one-way (HireVue-style) interview?

Many Comet roles include a recorded video interview early in the process — you answer set questions on camera against a timer with no live interviewer. It is a common first screen used to shortlist candidates before live rounds, so practising on webcam beforehand makes a real difference.

Is the Comet interview recorded (one-way) or live?

Early screens are often recorded and one-way; later stages are live, either virtual or on-site. The recorded format feels unnatural at first, so rehearsing your answers to a timer on camera is the single best way to get comfortable.

Does Comet use an online assessment or test?

Comet may use online assessments — situational judgement, aptitude, or role-specific tests — as an early filter before or alongside the interview. Treat them as seriously as the interview itself and practise the format in advance.

How many interview rounds does Comet have?

Most Comet processes run 2–4 stages: an initial screen (often a recorded video or phone call), one or more competency or skills interviews, and a final panel or assessment. The exact number varies by role and seniority.

How do I prepare for a Comet interview?

Research Comet's business, values, and recent news, then prepare 5–7 detailed STAR examples covering leadership, achievement, challenge, and collaboration. Most importantly, practise answering out loud on camera to a timer — it is the closest thing to the real screen.
