I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op in Jun 2026
Interview
It was nice and smooth and very intuitive. I liked how I had help from the website to prepare for the interview and so I was able to fully explain my previous experience.

Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Co-op (Shinfield, England)

The whole process was straightforward. Apply though the Co - Ops website. Will then be asked to to do basic online assessment, and if successful will have a interview face to face with the store manager.

Question 1
Q: Why do you want to work in retail?
Q: Tell me more about yourself?
Q: What shifts can you do?
Very impersonal. All done online and the logic between what constitutes a good or bad answer is totally unidentifiable. You would have better luck turning up in person and asking if you can hand in your CV and interview in person instead!

Very insistent on working as many days/times as possible even if you are studying
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Bournemouth, England) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was very easy and straightforward. The interviewer was kind and made it feel more like a friendly, comfortable conversation than a formal interview. As well as one of the best interviews I've actually had.
