I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
Completely wasted my time. 45 minutes before my interview, the manager called me to say that my interview had to be pushed back an hour.
I came at the new time and was waiting around for 30 extra minutes.
The interview went okay until the end when they asked for a valid passport. I had an expired one and my provisional licence which counts as ID. They don't except anything other than a passport.
So I wasted my time in which the could've asked me on the phone when they were confirming my interview; do you have a valid passport?
Mine was slightly different as I went in, answered basic questions about myself... Then was asked could I start Monday. Manager was already aware of who I was and my CV had been left with him for sometime until a position was available.
