Question 1
It wasn't any difficult questions ,just obvious interview questions But keep in mind that you need to be yourself and show your personality,which i failed to do .I was very nervous as it was my first interview.
I didn't get the job because i was too tense and i think everyone can see that.
Anyway , i learn a lot from other people's answers and by looking back i saw mistakes that i made.At the end of interview i already know i would not get this job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose (Bishops Stortford, England)
Interview
The interview process was okay. They asked basic questions, but it felt a bit rushed. I was left waiting for 30mins before being seen even though the shop was very quiet.

Question 1
Describe a time when you provided excellent customer service.
The interview process was well organised and professionally managed. Communication from the recruitment team was clear throughout each stage, and I was kept informed about timelines and expectations.
The interview itself was structured and allowed enough time to discuss my experience, skills, and suitability for the role. The interviewers were friendly and created a comfortable environment, which made it easier to have an open and productive conversation. They asked relevant questions about my background, problem-solving approach, and how I would contribute to the team.
I interviewed at Waitrose (Buckhurst Hill, England)
Interview
My online interview on Google Meet with the Head of Recruitment went well. We covered my background skills and motivations, then transitioned into a series of hypothetical scenarios related to the day-to-day responsibilities of the position.
