I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Exeter, England) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview was pretty easy and standard. They asked general questions about customer assistant management, roles, responsibilities, commitments, and visions. I would recommend everyone to do thorough research, be familiar with the brand/company, and try to answer the questions in about 3-4 sentences. Don't shy away from showing who you are.

Interview
Very straight forward, friendly and informal. All conducted at a steady pace and felt that I was able to be myself and come across in a positive way. I also had the chance to chat with some of the staff either side of the interview which was a big plus for me.

I had my interview with a lovely lady named Christine, she made me feel at ease straight away and asked me lots of questions about myself and what I could bring to the role, after going through the booklet and chatting some more I was delighted for her to say I got the job and I can't wait to join the coop team!
General situation-based questions many about team work. Also why do you want the role and what do you know about coop. Good availabliltu aka flexible hours will help get the job
