I have had numerous interviews and most seem quite standardised and limited in questioning, where there does not seem to be enough opportunity to show who you are as a person. However co-op interview process is quick & easy, they stick to timescales in relation to communication each step of the way. The process allows you to give an opportunity to set yourself apart as an individual . The face to face interview was great. It felt more a conversation & informal. I got a great vibe from the moment I was in store & met the manager , it just seem ed really positive. I strongly recommend if looking for a job to apply. I assure you, you won't be disappointed. I cannot wait to start. Top tip when applying. Truly be yourself!

Question 1
Without going into much detail. Genuinely be yourself. Draw up on real life experiences, things that are unique to you. There really doesn't seem to be a wrong answer. They will have no doubt had hundreds of applications however face to face interview it really is time to set yourself apart. Make sure they remember you.
I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Burton upon Trent, England)
Interview
The co op made you complete a survey to see if you were a good fit for the role. It was timed but relatively easy to complete, just needed to use common sense.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Co-op (Nairn, Scotland) in Jun 2019
Interview
Friendly interview, clear and concise questions making it easy to understand and answer most effectively. The interview started on time and lasted around 20 minutes. Went through a series of scenarios involving how to deal with specific customer questions / issues and how to ensure the management of the shop floor remains smooth during busy customer times.
