I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Shepshed, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
i applied online and was emailed about a week later telling me to come in for an interview. I was later contacted via mobile to confirm the interview time. When j got there I asked where the interviews were being held and waited until the manager was available. I filled out a booklet testing my literacy and numeracy skills. This was followed by an interview of standard questions that last around 20 minutes. He also checked my passport and asked about my current education. A week later I received a phone call saying I got the job and should come down to sort out uniform size.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Co-op in Nov 2009
Interview
I walked into the store to purchase an item, and the Duty Manager asked me if I wanted a job. I was looking at the time, so made arrangements for an interview a few days later. The interview was incredibly informal and laid back, and I was offered the job before the interview was concluded.
