I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose in Aug 2018
Interview
When I arrived for my interview I let the employee at the help desk know I had arrived and he kindly offered me a coffee and showed me to the waiting area. I was then interviewed by one of the managers who was very kind and reassuring through the whole interview and overall it was a very relaxed interview and only lasted around 15 minutes. I was told at the end of the interview that I would hear back if I got the job or not within the next few days and that it would update on the online communication centre.
Fast forward to now, over 6 weeks later, and I have heard absolutely nothing and my communication centre has not updated. I emailed about this two weeks ago but was told that they had still not made a decision. I don't mind not having been successful but to have received no communication despite being told I would is very frustrating.
Overall the interview process was very positive but the communication afterwards was not
Group interview with private talk at end. Had to work in teams while they were assessing teamwork, leadership skills and how personable you were. Was around 30 other people in the interview room.
