      So the online process is pretty straightforward. There are about 3 tests that you need to complete and then youll get a response the next day on whether you've been invitied to an interview. The interview is in two parts. I did my one on one interview first and then group, There was 5 of us in the group and it was a pretty simple task. As long as you contribute atleast one thing you will be fine.

      Average interview

      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.
