Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Waitrose (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
Was told to arrive at least 5 mins early, came 15 minutes early. Rang buzzer as told, person on intercom said to come back later without giving a time. I came back 10 mins later and there was a queue of people waiting outside on the street, all waiting for the interview! We waited for 15 mins past the time we were told to be there. While we waited in the reception they collected our passports and gave us a form to fill in: what times, store preferred, uniform size. Then we waited a further hour; long after we had completed the form. After this we were led in to a room and given a group task, which was explained very badly. There weren't enough laminates to go around to be able to participate fully. This was around 20 mins. Then people were led away individually for one to one with the 3 representatives. No one asked for the photocopies of the passport that had been stressed to bring in the emails. Possibly a sign that they had made up their minds that we hadn't been hired. Really had expected more from Waitrose, since they stress customer service and couldn't even extend it to potential employees.

- What are your hobbies?
- Why do you want to work for Waitrose?
- Example of task where you worked as a team?
- Tell me about yourself?
- What would you tell a customer if an item was unavailable in the store?
Pretty easy, just asked about experience and strengths. Then did a group exercise where we had to prioritise tasks. Then we had to talk about why we chose certain things and what impact it had on sales

Colloquio
The recruitment process comprised of one online task, one round of in-person group tasks (based on real life scenarios) and then a one to one interview. The online task, in-person group tasks and one to one questions were straightforward.

Colloquio
Short initial interview with typical questions asked during any other behavioural interview. Might have been an initial online screening asking about how you are in the workplace and your personality.
Hiring manager was very friendly and patient.
