I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Co-op (Manchester, England) in Jul 2013
Interview
Irrelevant, box-ticking, sales-manager type interview. Couple of vaguely-relevant technical questions followed by two hours of expected fluff to appease HR's vision. Not nearly enough questions about skills and experience and very little asked about requirements for the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about "customer journeys" and requests for detailed answers to only a select few questions vaguely linked to the exact role.
