If the standard of delivery driving round my way is any indication, you'll have no need to try too hard on the driving test bit. Make sure you park in the most inconvenient places possible and forget to turn your hazards off while you're out and about, revving the tits off your van biggrin

Put yourself in their shoes; you'll have to convince them that it's worth their while hiring a well educated recent graduate who presumably wants a rewarding career and didn't go to uni to further his dream of delivering food in a van. You might be seen as a risk compared to an older guy who's just looking for any work.

I've been in a similar situation to yourself , it's not easy trying to convince someone you're not 'too good' for the position you're interviewing for! Since you've worked there before that's definitely a bonus, I'd concentrate on that if you put in a decent shift when you worked there.

Good luck

The DVD bit is pretty basic, it is the obvious answer of the 3. Almost always the answer to give will show customer first.

Driving is to the highway code. They are keen on "defensive" driving and not having or causing an accident.

Cannot help about the online manager, depends on what store you are applying to.

You will be given a roster, delivery hours between 0700 - 2300 EVERY day so be sure you can work them, also you will need to nominate an extra 50% "availability" over the rostered shifts.

Let me know if you need more help.
