I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Portsmouth, South East England, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
The manager was very friendly and very professional. I was seen at the scheduled time, and the other staff members were friendly too. I was asked questions about my availability and my work history and was able to communicate my experience that was relevant to the position. I was given a good overview of the role and the shifts I was likely to be working, as well as asked about my willingness to do other roles within the store. I felt relaxed and supported through the process.

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.

Question 1
Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
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!
