      Supermarket Assistant Interview

      Mar 11, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose in Feb 2015

      Interview

      I filled out the brief online application form, took two multiple-choice situational judgement tests, then completed the lengthier questions. A week later I received a call letting me know that I was being invited to the store for an interview, which took place a few days later. I thought I may have to do a group interview, but it was just a 1-to-1 one. I can't remember exactly what I was asked, but it was something like "tell me about yourself", "tell me about a time when you either gave, or were given, feedback on something", "have you ever had to question a manager's authority?" and "why do you want to work for Waitrose?". There were then a couple of questions about how I would ensure the quality of stock and what a customer may want to know about a product. I was then given 20 minutes to read through 3 sheets of fictional in-store scenarios, pick out the three most serious/problematic ones, and then write a brief 'report' on why I chose the examples and what action plan I'd implement to solve the problems (easier than it sounds). I was told that someone would call me the following day to let me know if I had been successful, but no one called. Fortunately, I did get a call four days later and was offered the job, and a week later I received an email with the offer, which I accepted.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in May 2026

      Interview

      I applied for a Supermarket Assistant vacancy for all SW London stores (If your applying for a London specific vacancy, please ensure you apply ASAP, they only keep the vacancies for London open for 24 hours max), an early application, is always the best application) I am very happy that I have been given an offer! This was honestly one of the best interview/application processes I've been through, everything went smoothly, and on a timely manner. I applied for the role a week ago, and the next day received an email to say I have been invited for an Interview. You then schedule yourself in for an Interview. Literally 2 days after the Interview, I was called and told I have passed the Interview, and they would offer me a vacancy. My best advice would be to research Waitrose' core values and behaviours, and also research company trends. I have put the questions below. Towards the end of the interview, they'll confirm your right to work, your availability, and your preferred locations.
