I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Ryde, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
When applying online as an 18 year old, the shifts denoted were for earlier starts (6 AM) and I was more than happy to do this, so I applied online and get the call, interview, and everything seemed great. They seemed eager to take me on, but then in the interview with the store manager he abruptly said he could not offer me those shifts shown online, and that he only had thursday, friday, saturday, sunday night shifts (10 PM start). The lack of transparency was appalling and the manager had a rude manner. And so I declined them, as it was not what I was expecting and I was put on the spot about taking these shifts. They even continued to act annoyed that I did decline and just overall was rude, I particularly think it was because I was younger and he thought he could act improper.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We only have weekend night shifts available, is that okay?
Interview was around 2.5 hours in total. Started with a group interview then 20 minutes on the shop floor shadowing a checkout colleague then finally a 1 to 1 interview with a manager.
Nice environment. Kind people. Asked the right questions and I felt I could ask any questions i had. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend to other people to do an interview with them.
Very easy, just asked a few questions about my experience and my availability on time etc. what days i can work and my flexability on the dates i can do
