I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Milton Keynes, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
I had an interview at Co-op. First, they explained a bit about the company and the role, and then asked me a few questions. The questions were mostly the same as the ones they had already shared with me beforehand in an interview guide/document. At the end, they also asked about my availability and how I would be able to travel to and from work.

Question 1
1. Why would you like to become a Customer Team

2. Please tell me about yourself and Why would you like to work at the
Co-op ?
3. Can you tell me about a situation where you had to build a
relationship with someone else at work ?
4. Can you tell me about a time when you had to stand up for
your position (or that of a friend) in a difficult situation?
5. Can you tell me about a time at work, or elsewhere, where
you’ve involved others to discuss a challenge or an issue?
6. Can you tell me about a time when you have taken
ownership of a task/activity/project and made it a success?
the interview was about half an hour and I was aksed questions based on team building, achievements, experience and my qualifications. Was my first ever interview out of school so I didn't have much experience which was fine for the role I was applying for
Very easy and relaxed interview process, given a list of questions to look through the day before that will be asked in the interview. Interview started by answering those questions then focused on my schedule and what hours I could work.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We share interview questions ahead of your interview to help you prepare and be more at ease on the day. We hope this helped you.
Interview was great. Was told beforehand of the questions I would be asked and to give 5 examples of different behavioural examples. In the interview you had to discuss 3 of them.
