I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Co-op (Southend-on-Sea, England) in Aug 2015
Interview
Relaxed and informal. I think if you have worked in retail the interview would be extremely easy but a lot of questions could be answered with a little common sense even if you haven't.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give 5 examples of going out of your way to help customers
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!
