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.

Question 1
Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
Applied online, received a text about a week later saying I’d been processed to the next stage of the recruitment process and to call the co-op team. The phone call was short and consisted of basic questions about hours I could work etc. I then received an email a few days later to book an appointment through an online system for a face to face interview that I had been selected for. This also included an interview pack of some of the questions to expect. The interview itself was very informal and the manager was lovely. I got a phone call to offer me the job 2 weeks later.
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!

Question 1
Very insistent on working as many days/times as possible even if you are studying
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Bournemouth, England) in May 2026
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.
