I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Co-op (Leicester, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
I applied online and received an email to book an interview. So i arrived at the interview I was taken into room in the back by an employee and waited for the manager to call me. The manager came and took me into a room and carried out the interview , the interview was easy just basic questions asking about yourself and why you want to work there. However I believe the manager was very unprofessional when he first saw me he said " ya alright mate" and shook my hand and I felt like he was rushing through the questions. On the email it said the interview would last up to an hour, the interview only lasted 4 mins. Seriously a 4 minute interview I went into the room at 12 and was out the shop at 12:05. Overall was an easy interview.
situational questions e.g. tell me about a time you had to communicate in front of other people
tell me about a time you got results?
Some more situational questions were asked but I cannot remember them.

Interview
It was nice and smooth and very intuitive. I liked how I had help from the website to prepare for the interview and so I was able to fully explain my previous experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
Very impersonal. All done online and the logic between what constitutes a good or bad answer is totally unidentifiable. You would have better luck turning up in person and asking if you can hand in your CV and interview in person instead!

Interview
The interview process was very easy and straightforward. The interviewer was kind and made it feel more like a friendly, comfortable conversation than a formal interview. As well as one of the best interviews I've actually had.
