I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
I found the job on indeed and applied on the company’s career site, then 3 or 4 days later I received an email saying I have an interview. The interview was only half an hour with the manager of the store I applied for , he only asked me two questions then explained the job role and benefits of working for co op (explaining the discounts etc). After that he asked me my availability and what name I would like on my name tag plus what size do I wear ( then from that I knew I got the job)

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!

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.
