Interview

I applied online on 11/07 then received an email and a text the following day saying that they'd like me to call up to arrange an interview. As I was desperate to get on with the job application process I opted for the closest interview date which was two days later on 14/07.

When I arrived at Sainsburys I went to the customer service desk and asked where to go for my interview. The woman told me that I was too early so should wait in the cafe. About 15mins later the man who would be interviewing me came and found me in the cafe and led me out back into a meeting room to have my interview. Here, he went over some basic questions about myself (including uniform size) before taking me onto the shop floor to assess the food counters. I was given a clipboard and told to write down any good and bad points about the counters. This was fairly easy as they do read out suggestions/examples beforehand. He then took me back to the interview room to discuss my points. These were then followed up by some typical interview questions.

Five days later, I received a text and an interview offering me the position! So there was only eight days between applying to the job and receiving the offer!!

Overall it was a really simple experience and reading through other glassdoor interview reviews really did help!

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at J Sainsbury (Leeds, England (UK)) in July 2017.

Interview

Applied online for a local sainsbury's job, completed the questions they asked and the following morning i recieved an email informing me to contact HR to arrange a face to face interview. Arranged the interview for the next available date.
Arrived at sainsbury's 10 minutes before interview started, was taken to the staff canteen after checking in. Interview was straight forward, really laid back and informal. The interviewer didn't seem all that bothered, she was just reading what was wrote down in front of her. Was asked general questions and a little bit about myself and my previous job. From the way the interviewer was speaking with me it sounded like i already had the job, was asked what size uniform i require, she told me dates and times of the induction days and if i was able to attend, how soon i was able to start etc. She said i should hear from them in a couple days time. i recieved an email 2 days later informing me although i had the skills they was looking for i was unsucessful and if wanted to hear feedback from my interview to contact HR. I contacted them for feedback only to be told that i won't hear anything yet as it's only been 2 days and when i informed the woman on the phone i already got an email from them she sounded abit confused and said she didn't have any information on how the interview went apart from i didn't get the job. Even though she previously said i shouldn't of heard back from them yet. Totally unprofessional as they give you information to contact them regarding feedback but then tell you they can't give you any. Glad i didn't get a job offer for this unprofessional company that clearly don't even care about their potential new staff and ask questions that make you get your hopes up thinking you have the job only to be told 2 days later you don't. Don't ask information about things you should only require if you're going to offer the candidate the job.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at J Sainsbury (Leamington, England (UK)) in July 2017.

Interview

I completed the online application which was easy then received an email and text a couple of days later telling me to call HR to organise an interview time - this wasn't an interview over the phone, only questions included were confirming the job title and hours and asked me if I owned a passport. My interview was 3 days later.

The interview itself was incredibly easy and laid back and took about 30 minutes. It was a 1 to 1 interview and had 2 parts to it. The first was checking my documents (address/passport/NI number) as well as uniform sizes. The the second was 3 questions about me and my work ethic etc. The questions were really easy, you can't give any wrong answers. My interviewer also just asked me things like "so what are you into? what are you doing at the moment/what do you enjoy doing?" creating a really relxed/informal atmosphere. They offered me the job there and then and asked me to come to an induction the following week which would consist of an 8 hour day of training.

Overall, a super easy and enjoyable experience.
