I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (Balsall Common, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
Applied in store via an application form and returned to store. I was then invited to the store for an interview, which was very relaxed. Very quick communication throughout the whole process
Informal, ask questions that you are sent prior to the interview to prepare. Ask about availability and your current circumstances eg. if you are a student etc. and if you have previous retail experience.
