I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Cardiff, Wales)
Interview
Applied online, having to pass a series of screening questions. Was invited to interview after this. It was a group interview, where they asked a series of questions about times we had to work under pressure, times we messed up and how we fixed it, and so on. All straightforward stuff. Just keep it simple and follow STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) in your answer so they have tickboxes to check. Afterwards I was invited to a one-to-one interview where we discussed the role, availability, anything coming up (like studies, exams and so on), and where I'd be a year from now. Didn't take any longer than 1.5 hours.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Berkhamsted, England) in Feb 2011
Interview
Varies from store to store but I've worked in two Tesco stores and both interviews were one-to-one.
They asked things like:
- why Tesco?
- Describe a time you have been put in a position of trust.
- Name a time a manager has introduced something you disagreed with, how did you react?
- Describe a time you have been disappointed and how you dealt with it.
- Describe a time you worked in a team to reach a target.
- Describe an example of good customer service.
Obviously these will differ from store to store as well, but generally always back everything up with an example. It is not enough to just say 'I work hard and am a team player', you have to provide evidence in the form of previous experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Oldham, England) in Aug 2011
Interview
The interview process was far too long i had about 4 different interviews over 4 weeks and each interview lasted a few hours, it made if difficult to make these interviews as they were group ones and we have other commitments to attend to
