      Supermarket Assistant Interview

      25 Jan 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Botley, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (Botley, England) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      I was called in for a group interview, however, one person didn't turn up leaving only 3 of us, therefore they decided to only carry out one to one interviews. One other student from my school was also in the interview and they had the exact same experience from start to end. My interviewer was lovely and we had a lot in common which helped the interview process go smoothly. I was offered the job but they only offered a minimum of 17.5 hours, when I had applied for 8-12 hours as I attend sixth form as well. They went on to explain that they only offer a minimum of 15-hour contracts at that Waitrose, however, some other students from my school now work at that Waitrose at 12 hours. I was looking forward to starting work here but unfortunately, i couldn't. The Waitrose also put that I was denied the job on my jlpjobs account, meaning that any other jobs I applied to within the john lewis sector would assume I was rejected from this interview, however, this was not the case. This has not greatly affected me though as I have another interview at a different Waitrose.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose in May 2026

      Question 1

      Q: Tell me about a time you had to work in a team and how did it go?
      Answer question

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in May 2026

      Interview

      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.
