      Supermarket Assistant Interview

      Oct 25, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I applied online, completing both tests and then a week or so later, I received an e-mail with the date an time for an interview. The interview process consisted of a group interview and a 1-to-1 interview. There was around 5 of us in the group interview and we were all around the same age, either one year younger or older. We were given reports on people comments on different areas on the store, we had 5 minutes to read this then we had to give feedback to the group on what the problems were and we had to pick the top 3 issues, say why we had chosen them and what we can do in order to improve the service of the store. You have to make a report to hand in at the end of the group interview session. For the 1-to-1 session I was asked 5 question that roughly asked: Why do you want to work for wait rose? Tell me about yourself/hobbies/interests? How do you test the quality of a product? What information do you think a customer should know about a product? Give me an example of when you had to give somebody feedback / challenge someone's idea The woman interviewing me let me know that there was another group to be interviewed the following week so therefore she would get back to me at the end of the week which she did.

      Supermarket Assistant Interview

      Apr 22, 2026
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in May 2026

      Interview

      I applied for a Supermarket Assistant vacancy for all SW London stores (If your applying for a London specific vacancy, please ensure you apply ASAP, they only keep the vacancies for London open for 24 hours max), an early application, is always the best application) I am very happy that I have been given an offer! This was honestly one of the best interview/application processes I've been through, everything went smoothly, and on a timely manner. I applied for the role a week ago, and the next day received an email to say I have been invited for an Interview. You then schedule yourself in for an Interview. Literally 2 days after the Interview, I was called and told I have passed the Interview, and they would offer me a vacancy. My best advice would be to research Waitrose' core values and behaviours, and also research company trends. I have put the questions below. Towards the end of the interview, they'll confirm your right to work, your availability, and your preferred locations.

      Application

      I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England)

      Interview

      Good process, nice People and not too difficult. Able to pass interviews as many times as needed. The same as other supermarket jobs, not much more to say to be honest
