I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op in June 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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a time when you stood up for yourself or someone else
I have had numerous interviews and most seem quite standardised and limited in questioning, where there does not seem to be enough opportunity to show who you are as a person. However co-op interview process is quick & easy, they stick to timescales in relation to communication each step of the way. The process allows you to give an opportunity to set yourself apart as an individual . The face to face interview was great. It felt more a conversation & informal. I got a great vibe from the moment I was in store & met the manager , it just seem ed really positive. I strongly recommend if looking for a job to apply. I assure you, you won't be disappointed. I cannot wait to start. Top tip when applying. Truly be yourself!

Question 1
Without going into much detail. Genuinely be yourself. Draw up on real life experiences, things that are unique to you. There really doesn't seem to be a wrong answer. They will have no doubt had hundreds of applications however face to face interview it really is time to set yourself apart. Make sure they remember you.
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.
