I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Crayford, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
Done an online test while applying. Got a text the next day saying Sainsburys wanted to interview me. Had to ring HR and arrange a day for my interview, which was a week later. Went for my interview and we went through my right to work and the contract. Was asked questions about myself to help the interviewer assess if i would be suitable for the role. They were happy when i mention about how they helped the community and helped local charities. Was told about the benifits of working for sainsburys like the 10% discount in sainsburys and argos. Then revieved a text 1 week later saying i had been sucessful and to once again ring HR to go through any changes made to my contract and verbally accept it. The induction took place a week after accepting.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Twist) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a great interview process. They asked me many questions that I wasn’t expecting, but the interview was really polite and was caring and made sure that I didn’t feel any pressure.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Bamber Bridge, England)
Interview
Easy, walk little chat, sign some papers, job was explained to me and then they said keep an eye for the onboarding emails. Kept it low pressured and because it was during Covid I think they just needed people through the door to do the job
