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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (Cambridge, England) in Aug 2013
Interview
The hiring and interview process for me was a very simple one as I had previously done work experience within the store. Consequently they knew me so the interview process was a little less formal. However initially in my interview for the work experience it was more formal and I was asked the general questions such as, why I want to work there and what I know about the Co op
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!

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.
