Interview
Applied online and got an email sent to me asking me to book in to an interview slot, the slot being an hour. Yet for the actual interview I was done in less than ten minutes. The email also tells you that you should study up on who the Co-op are, yet my interviewer told me all about co-op instead. Disappointing interview as the interviewer didn’t seem interested and pretty much wanted me out the door, rushed through the interview and never shook my hand on the way in or out which is just basic manners. They asked basic questions first like ‘tell me about yourself’ and ‘what have you been doing for the last few years’ along with the ‘why do you want to work for us’ then they went onto the scored questions. They’re based on the five competencies that they tell you about in the email, which is ‘building relationships’, ‘being confident’, ‘clear communicator’, ‘succeeding together’ and ‘getting results’.
Overall a really disappointing interview and a waste of my time. Know they held interviews on the Saturday and Sunday and mine was on the Tuesday but if you’ve already decided who you want to hire either don’t make me come for the interview or give me the decency and respect of actually acting like you care about the answers I’m providing.

Interview
sit down interview with store manager covering a range of non-challenging competencies. Sat down in his office - was not very threatening at all and manager was incredibly accommodating. Would recommend applying if considering doing so.
