      Supermarket Assistant Interview

      13 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose in Aug 2018

      Interview

      When I arrived for my interview I let the employee at the help desk know I had arrived and he kindly offered me a coffee and showed me to the waiting area. I was then interviewed by one of the managers who was very kind and reassuring through the whole interview and overall it was a very relaxed interview and only lasted around 15 minutes. I was told at the end of the interview that I would hear back if I got the job or not within the next few days and that it would update on the online communication centre. Fast forward to now, over 6 weeks later, and I have heard absolutely nothing and my communication centre has not updated. I emailed about this two weeks ago but was told that they had still not made a decision. I don't mind not having been successful but to have received no communication despite being told I would is very frustrating. Overall the interview process was very positive but the communication afterwards was not

      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      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.
