Customer Service Assistant at Co-operative Group
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2009 – Reviewed Sep 13, 2010
Interview Details – I walked into the store to purchase an item, and the Duty Manager asked me if I wanted a job. I was looking at the time, so made arrangements for an interview a few days later. The interview was incredibly informal and laid back, and I was offered the job before the interview was concluded.

Finance at Co-operative Group
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Dec 2009 – Reviewed Jan 4, 2010
Interview Details – It was very standardised and competancy based, they seem to want you to provide answers in a fragmented and ridiculous story like style with a clear begining middle and end, not seeming to appreciate the complexities of situations. Conduct a presentation, you are pressurised to use a flip chart, something which was fairly annoying and a tad outdated.
Interview Question – An example of a time you have gone out of your way to provide excellent customer service. View Answer
Reason for Declining – The organisation didn't provide all the opportunities I wanted, was not too impressed with the calibre of staff and applicants.
