I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (Bournemouth, England) in Jul 2020
Interview
Online assessment then face to face. I was very disappointed in the interview. The interviewer asked the competence questions then just spoke the whole time. Didn't ask me much. How can you assess someone without finding out about them? Didn't get back to me on three occasions when I was following up and said he would and then texted me by accident rather than someone else he had clearly chosen and not let me know. Poor experience.
