I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (Kettering, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
I applied online, and within a few days was contacted by the store manager to come in for an interview with one of the shift managers.
The usual questions: Why the co-op? What do I know about the role? And a couple of competency based ones.
A really nice, quick and easy process. I was contacted a couple of hours after the interview with a job offer.
