I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (North Finchley, England) in July 2016
Interview
Had my interview today for various London branches. After getting through online scenario questions I was invited to an interview at the Finchley branch. Firstly we were taken into a room where we had to fill out general information like available hours , clothes size , and area we would like to work in etc. Then we were split into groups of 2 and had to take part in group assessment which was to rank each task in order of importance and assign someone to do the task and create an action plan for this. There is no correct plan just be sure to have a reason for why you chose that order and speak up because they won't be able to judge your performance as they can't read your mind. I then took part in a one to one interview and I am now just waiting for my response
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why do you want to work for waitrose
A group interview with others - straightforward questions shared with the group. A one to one interview after this with the section manager - this was also very informal. I was offered the job and accepted.
Good combination of online testing and in person situational questions in store. Testing beforehand had a range of questions including scaled responses and videos. In store questions were more team building
