    Phone Interview for the Co-op
    I have one on Tuesday and was wandering if anyone has ever had one before with them. What sort of questions are they likely to ask??? I have got information about the history of the company so far.

    Co-op tend to do competency based questions, ie "tell me about a time you..." so you might want to prepare examples of customer service (either given, or received if you've never had a job) or organising an event or things like that.

    No it's for the role of a sales advisor in their contact centre.

    They said two weeks from application and that two week mark is getting awfully close now, getting slightly scared, the schemes have changed this year am i correct? there are only two schemes, before wasnt there marketing, HR, ops etc?
