Interview
Had to pass two online tests before reveiving an interview, once tests passed received an interview request within 4 days.
The interview was a fun and friendly experience, consisted of a group assessment and a one on one. The group assessment was about prioritising tasks and discussing that with the other candidates. The one on one was just typica questions and super friendly.
My interview was today 29th of June 2016 and am waiting to hear back.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Waitrose (Henley, South East England, England) in Sep 2012
Interview
Group interview with HR manager where we had to answer questions about what we knew about the company. Then a group exercise (building a tower with paper) to demonstrate teamwork. Then we had to pitch a product to the HR manager, without mentioning its intended use.
Section Manager interview (one-to-one) was really a nice chat (a formality).

Final (Section manager) Interview was a general chat about my availability and my personality as I was 16 and had no work experience to draw on.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose (Chichester, England) in May 2016
Interview
Applied online. Starts with basic details then online questionnaire then qualifications. Offered interview over email. Interview was approx 1hour 30. Started with a 1:1 for 30 mins. Friendly but formal, chat about what I'm doing and why waitrose and then some questions on how the waitrose store can provide good customer service and then asked me to describe a time when I've done something different than I usually would and to talk about a project. Second part was a group task with a list of customer profiles and then products to match. Make sure you contribute and show team working skills. It's all fairly common sense and doesn't matter if you get it wrong, it's a task to analyse how you react in a team.
