I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Waitrose (Wimbledon, England) in Dec 2013
Interview
It was group interview with 9 of us.
The interviewer was very friendly and told us that whole process will take an hour.
First we was playing bingo .We have to communicate as a group and find out who is :
-doesn't like red wine.
-smocking
-speaks Spanish etc.
after we have to answer 3 questions:
-What is your favourite meal and why?
-Why should they hire you?
-What is your plans for the future?
At the end we was divided into 2 groups and each group get a product that we have to sell to an other group.
At the end we told that they will contact us in few days time with results ,i had replay in 6 days .They told that current position is filled in and they will keep my details for the next 3 months and contact me if they have something available.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It wasn't any difficult questions ,just obvious interview questions But keep in mind that you need to be yourself and show your personality,which i failed to do .I was very nervous as it was my first interview.
I didn't get the job because i was too tense and i think everyone can see that.
Anyway , i learn a lot from other people's answers and by looking back i saw mistakes that i made.At the end of interview i already know i would not get this job.
