I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Kettering, England) in Sep 2023
Interview
I throughly prepared for Interview by looking at the guide provided. Travelled for 2 hours to reach at Interview site. Interviewer asked me questions like my name, how are you, worked before as a sales assistant. Then I was expecting questions that revolves around team work, behavioural etc. But he asked no single question. I was utterly shocked and in the end I asked the Interviewer why you didn't ask me any question. He said I just wanted to see you as a person and know your availability. It actually feel so disrespectful and I don't know why he did this.
Was a nice easy interview, very friendly, took around 20 minutes. Asked standard questions about previous experience - name a time when etc. , were interested in how much I knew about the history of Co-op and other
