J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Waitrose
Entretien
Applied online and was offered an interview within a week.
The interview was a group interview with around 10-15 applicants and 2 interviewers. It lasted a couple of hours and involved a couple of simple exercises. This included; individual introductions (ice breaker), a couple of teamwork exercises (looking at how you work together) and finished with an individual sales pitch of a chosen item to the rest of the group.
After the group interview, short individual interviews were conducted 1 to 1 to talk about you.
The feel to the interview was kept as friendly as possible with drinks, snacks and chocolate supplied throughout!

The interview process was okay. They asked basic questions, but it felt a bit rushed. I was left waiting for 30mins before being seen even though the shop was very quiet.

The interview process was well organised and professionally managed. Communication from the recruitment team was clear throughout each stage, and I was kept informed about timelines and expectations.
The interview itself was structured and allowed enough time to discuss my experience, skills, and suitability for the role. The interviewers were friendly and created a comfortable environment, which made it easier to have an open and productive conversation. They asked relevant questions about my background, problem-solving approach, and how I would contribute to the team.

My online interview on Google Meet with the Head of Recruitment went well. We covered my background skills and motivations, then transitioned into a series of hypothetical scenarios related to the day-to-day responsibilities of the position.
