First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Co-op.
Accounts Manager
There were 5 questions set beforehand. They looked at my CV and work history. They asked about my hobbies and interests. We talked about the job role and the systems they use. They also went over the company goals and ethos. And finally, the benefits of the job.
- Tell me about a time you successfully built relationships with individuals outside of your department.
Assistant Manager
I should have applied through the disability confident scheme, and was informed it was between me and someone else. The other person had more points. On the Coop careers site, it says that when they are choosing, they use a points score, so someone with school qualifications would get the job above someone with no qualifications, which was me. I had no qualifications due to my medical condition. If I had opted to use the disability confident scheme, this would have been taken into consideration. It was totally my own doing for not ticking the box.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Team Manager
It was a face to face interview with lots of scenario based questions. I was asked to complete a store walk and list things I would improve but was not asked anything about this in the interview so unsure why this was requested. It took around 2 weeks for them to come back to me regarding the outcome. Unfortunately I was not successful and they did not provide feedback, after advising in the interview that they would for this role.
