Interview with the Co-Op bank

Hi,

On 7th May I was put on gardening leave and will be made redundant on 7th June. For the past week I have been actively looking for a new job and yesterday I passed a telephone interview and have been invited for a full interview next week. Do any of you good people have experience of working for the co-op bank / offer any advice as I have not had a job interview for over 9 years!

many thanks:beer:

    Im sure the questions will be possibly competency based interview questions. Typical questions are:

    Can you give an example of when provided excellent customer service?

    Can you give an example of when you dealt with a difficult customer?

    Can you give an example of when you worked as part of a team?

    Can you give an example of when you made a mistake and what did you do to recifty it?

    Im sure you get the jist :D

    Just be calm im sure they respect the fact you have not had an interview in 9 years. Well done on getting so far thats a great achievement. Ive just had an interview with Tesco Bank and Ive not had an interview externally for 7 Years.
