I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Awful , The manager was constantly checking his watch and clearly disinterested in me , knew i never had the job there and then , asking me can i work day shift hours when i applied for night and not knowing anything about the hours that were on the application, if you dont know what you are recruiting for then duh , Not to mention being asked if i was okay to work with men, from the tone of voice it was clear they werent looking for a women for night shift. This company is awful I wouldnt bother going for a interview and they then tell you a week later through email that you cant apply again for six months judged on one interview so if you are looking for other areas in the company dont bother , pathetic

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.
Interview questions [1]
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!

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.
