I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op in Aug 2022
Interview
Very straightforward interview process. First you complete an online test about possible situations you might face in the role. I was then invited to an interview which lasted an hour. They send you an interview preparation guide beforehand which tells you the behaviours they are assessing against. A few introductory questions like why do you want to be a customer team member, followed by 5 behavioural questions which are scored. As long as you have thought of examples beforehand and reasons for why you want to work at the co-op, it is a straightforward interview process.

Time you have had to speak up for yourself or others
I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op in Jun 2026
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.

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!

Question 1
Very insistent on working as many days/times as possible even if you are studying
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Bournemouth, England) in May 2026
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.
