Entrevista
I did an application online, then I was invited to an interview. It was a group with about 5 of us, were all given a scenario of a bad day: deliveries were late, new co-workers went on their break without cleaning the worktop, glass jug broken, someone cuts their finger etc.. Then we all had to discuss the health and safety issues, which tasks should be prioritized and how to prevent this from happening again. One woman, a mature woman who clearly had experience before, practically dominated the task, I tried to speak as much as I could and noticed any details missed out, put all our ideas on a piece of paper. Then the 1 on 1 was much better, because I prepared for the typical interview questions beforehand such as: 'Why do you want to work for us?', 'tell me about yourself' and 'do you have any questions?'. When I got back, had to fill in a form for my hours available and holiday. Couple of days later I found out I got the job from an e-mail.
Moral is.. Preparation is key!

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.

Good process, nice People and not too difficult. Able to pass interviews as many times as needed.
The same as other supermarket jobs, not much more to say to be honest
