I interviewed at Central England Co-operative (Derby, England)
Interview
Fast and painless. Interview took approx. 20 minutes followed by a 20 minute test on maths and english. Manager leaves the room for this part. Questions involve how to handle situations with difficult customers, how to raise concerns and your definition of "good" customer service.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Central England Co-operative in Feb 2023
Interview
Applied. Took their system 5 minutes to shoot down the application after tailoring CV, an "informal, laid back" cover letter and doing research on the company.
You should respect people's time more as this is extremely unprofessional. If your vacancies are up, honour them. If not take them down or close them if you decided to go with someone internal.
Will be calling out dubious ethics as much as needed.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Central England Co-operative (Coalville, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
Just generic interview questions such as "Tell me about yourself" and "Tell me about a time when you showed leadership". The interviewer was quite chatty and nice to talk to though.
