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 online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op in Oct 2025
Interview
Very personable interviewer, immediately put me at ease, although some set questions, felt more like a ‘chat’. Asked my preferred hours, early or late start etc. I had no retail experience, but interviewer said they go more on attitude and life-experience (I’m in my late fifties).
Thank you for sharing your experience of interviewing with us. We're pleased that you had an enjoyable experience. Reviews like yours help people understand what to expect.
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!

Very insistent on working as many days/times as possible even if you are studying

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.
