I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Kidderminster, England) in Nov 2013
Interview
Simple online form advertised from in store, rapidly followed by an easy group assessment in store, followed shortly by telephone call. They were looking for genuine, friendly, helpful people who would work hard and not complain. Looking for teamwork and some measured leadership qualities. It is important to be confident and speak up to sell yourself, but do not try to exclude others. They appeared to favour an inclusive atmosphere of cooperation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe an instance where you were given unexpected responsibility.
The interview was with one individual and thus it was a more chilled environment than other interviews. It also consisted of only one stage rather than multiple interviews with different individuals across the shop.
The interview was engaging and welcoming, with thoughtful questions and a friendly atmosphere. I felt valued and happy, leaving confident about the role and excited for the job ahead. I would recommend the experience to anyone.
various questions about experience and scenarios and what i would do. all fine and as expected and also asked about availability and when i could start the job. good experience all round.
