Interview questions [2]
Question 1
tell me about a time you went above customers expectations
As the person before me mentioned they ask behavioural questions. I tried to remember as many as I could as best as I could but the following are the kind of questions they’ll ask. (Please remember these are paraphrased.)
I presume every Co-op would ask the same questions as they had a specific co-op interview sheet printed off.
• Tell me about yourself and why you would like to work at Co-op?
• Tell me what you did in the last couple of years? (They wanted me to include work, education plus any interesting extracurricular achievements)
• Tell me a about a challenging situation, how you handled it and what was the outcome? A conflict where you had to stand up for yourself or someone else.
• Tell me a situation where you were successful.
• Tell me about a situation where you were part of a team and helped out a team member.
• Tell me about a transformational situation where you shown excellent skills.
• Tell me about a great achievement either from school a club or previous work.
• Your availability. Do you have another job or education etc.?
• Any holidays booked in the next 6 months?
They then told me that there’s a 13 week trial period once you begin working there after which you have a behavioural meeting with the manager.
They also ask your sizes for uniform beforehand, so if you get the job they can order them.
Hope this helps
