Individual & group interviews also for first time I got an interview we got questions we needed to discuss between the group and had a 5 minute time limit. And the second time uI got an interview it was we needed to try to build a tower that would stand without falling over and we only got paper & cellotape and a certain amount of time to do it in.

Question 1
Trying to build a tower as part of a group within a specific time.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Aug 2018

Received call for interview the day after applying online. Interview was the next day. Positive experience overall, 2 staff members made me feel very comfortable and were very easy to talk to.

Question 1
Tell us a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (London, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
Easy online interview. Was called up a few days later to come in for an interview.
When I came in for the instore interview, I was left waiting in the staff room for over an hour with no updates on where interviewer was. When she finally came to interview me I was asked a series of basic questions about previous retail experience.
We then went down onto the shop floor where the employee at the fitting rooms was incredibly rude. The manager told me they were short staffed and because I had previous experience at another clothing store I was just left to my own devices on the shop floor while that employee took her break.
I was on the shop floor for an hour unassisted and wasn't being observed. Another employee on the shop floor noticed my skill level and my competence with the role. I was praised by staff and the manager was happy with my performance due to feedback.
Was told I would be contacted in a week about the decision. I didn't receive any information and had to chase them up myself. I was emailed back saying I didn't get the position. Completely unfair considering they wasted 3 hours of my day and made me work for free!
