I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Glasgow, Schottland) in Jan 2023
Interview
Difficult interview compared to other supermarkets as they ask 5 specific behaviour questions e.g explain a time when you have done something. Questions like when have you built a relationship with someone, when have you had to stand up for yourself or someone else in the workplace, when have you had to go to someone else to help solve an issue.

Question 1

Our interviews in store aren't designed to be difficult so we're sorry you feel this way. Our questions aren't reliant on you having had any specific experience but on behaviours and values as we believe that it's you as a person that matters. Before the interview every candidate gets an interview guidance pack and we have feedback that tells us this is really useful. We hope you took time out to read yours before your interview.

Thank you for leaving a review. We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive interview experience and so glad that you joined us in our funeralcare team.
Good interview however took a long time to confirm position, would still recommend to anyone looking to work there. Would be more helpful if they could give a time scale as to when candidates will hear back
