Stage one, I applied online through their website and then I was invited to a zoom call with one member of the Waitrose recruitment team. I then waited a day or two for my successful email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Zoom call with one member of their team. 1st question: little bit about myself. 2nd: a time I’ve shown diversity. 3rd: a time I’ve shown diversity. 4th: why I want to work for Waitrose.
I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose (Sheffield, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
30 minutes of standard interview questions. I had heard group interviews were common but with the pandemic and to maintain social distancing I imagine they are they using one on one interviews. Hiring manager was lovely and it was clear they didn't discriminate against anyone without previous experience.
Questions about availability, teamwork and time management.
Fairly easy and relaxed, just had a chat with the manager for about 5-10 mins basically. But the job offer came quite a while after, maybe a month?
Also situational judgement type questions online.
