J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Waitrose (Londres, Angleterre) en sept. 2016
Entretien
I applied online, interviewed at Putney London UK and the process took 2 days. 1day for applying online and another day for when the group assessment takes place which was a week from the application date.
Group assessment consisted of matching food items to customers based on the customers requirements which were things like 'i love to cook', 'i dont like cooking', 'im cooking for 8 people'. Then you had to say why you have recommended the item, how you would sell the item to the customer and what other items you could suggest for them. Fairly easy task, you're marked on what you say so make sure you speak up. It was just me and two over people plus one assessor so it wasnt very nerve wracking.
After this you go for a 1-1 interview with the assessor who asks you the usual competency questions that begin with 'tell me about a time when'. Interview lasts about 10mins.
Overall it was a good experience even though I was rejected. I live about 1hour 30 away from the store while another candidate was a local so im sure that played a part in the assessors decision. I received an email telling me I wasnt successful about 4 hours after the interview which was good as I wasnt kept waiting and can continue my hunt for a job elsewhere.
Tell me about a time when:
-You came up with an idea
-You were told to do something differently
-You made a mistake at work and what did you learn from it

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.

Good process, nice People and not too difficult. Able to pass interviews as many times as needed.
The same as other supermarket jobs, not much more to say to be honest
