Interviewed Aug 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4 weeks)
You turn up for a 'reality day'. There are 6 people assessing you throughout a 4 hour process. This consists of a presentation, 1:1 interview, competence test in a live situation amongst other things. If you are succesful, they will contact you within a week. You then have a 2:1 interview with a Store Manager and a People Services Manager. If you are successful, they will contact you within a week with the outcome/offer.

Interviewed May 2011 in Bodmin, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Asda Magic consisted of about 12 of us in a group interview with four observers. We had numbers on Post-It notes attached to our backs and had to get ourselves in to numerical order without asking anyone what our number was. We then had to work in three groups, discussing how we could make Asda more envinmentally friendly. We had a tour of the store and watched an Asda DVD. The whole thing took about 2 hours. If you were sucessful, you were phoned to come back for the 'Have a Go' which is basically a try out on the shop floor filling shelves etc, for about 3/4 hour and then you get a face-to-face interview with your soon to be Section Manager. I think unless you are a complete dodo you have got the job.

Interviewed Oct 2007 (took 2 days)
Firstly had to complete application which was pretty straight forward. Then I had to wait quite a while to be offered an interview. The first interview was a group interview. Here there were group task such as building a tower out of paper, then having to balance a bar of chocolate on it. Not to bad but then we had to sing a asda chant thing a nd do a pocket pat! Next, I was invited in for a one to one interview that just asked about what I could bring to the company, strenghts etc. Next the manager who had interviewed me called to offer the job.
