I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (Ellesmere Port, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
The interview was in a quiet place which made me feel relaxed. The manager interviewed me and was polite and relaxed and was easy to talk to. The questions were relevant to the job I was applying for but he had to miss a few questions out because I haven't had a job before.

Interview
Interview arranged quickly, shorter than expected, lasting only around 20 minutes. Fairly basic questions and friendly interviewer who asked the questions from a form and filled in my answers throughout the process. Reasonably fast responses to the result, taking about 3 days to receive an email.

Interview
First thing I would advice is read the email you get thoroughly. On the email they will talk about assessing you on 5 behaviors in the questions. Think about your examples before hand they literally question you on each one. These examples don't even need to be work related but helps. The interview I had they didn't look at a CV they are looking how you will fit into the group, so make your answers relatable. Ask them questions about the happiest and most important day they have had working for the company? Remember as much as they are looking for a customer member, you're also looking for a positive work environment.

A difficult situation I was in where I needed to speak up?
Thank you for your review. Great feedback and hints and tips to help others prepare. It's so important to prepare for the interview, but also think about what you would want to know about the role and environment too.
