I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose (Barry, Wales) in Jul 2017
Interview
Applied online and received a very quick response, (around 2 or 3 days).
Very relaxed atmosphere. Initial 1 to 1 interview with some basic 'interview' questions sprinkled in. Then a group task involving the creation of an 'action plan'.
They asked some basic questions; it was a very friendly atmosphere; the recruitment process is very straightforward; I think it takes no more than two weeks. First a telephone interview, then an interview with the managers
it was a normal customer service interview with competency and situational questions and questions about yourself and all that kind of stuff. very basic part-time job interview that anyone could get through
Completed an online assessment that was harder than it seemed and then did an in person interview with one of the managers. She was very friendly and I felt at ease.
