I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (Bradford, Yorkshire and the Humber, England) in Jul 2020
Interview
Face to face interview, sent application reviewed invitation within a week or so; went to the store I had applied for the be interviewed by manager and assistant manager. Went through a bit of background for 20 minutes and then asked five situational questions that demonstrated leadership, team work etc. Straight after the interview was told it would be around 1-2 weeks, probably somewhere in the middle I got my offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Tell me a time you've shown leadership?
- Tell me a time you worked well within a team?
- Most were situational questions.
Prior to the interview, they sent an email containing the questions so it was easier to prepare.
My interviewer was friendly as well so this calmed my nerves. He asked the questions and talked about my availability and what the role entails

I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Liverpool, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and well organised. I understood everything the interviewer explained, and they were very friendly and welcoming. The environment felt professional, clean, and comfortable, which made it easier to communicate and answer questions confidently.
It’s a brief interview about 2 hours, my interviewer asked set of questions what coop already had for applicants. My interview was professional and friendly, as mentioned my experience as managerial role so he checked me with some questions about my previous role was real or just made up!
