I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Newport, Newport, Wales) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied online by submitting my Cv and then answering a number of questions online. I was then given a call about a week later asking me to come in for an interview. I was asked about 5 "when have you" situation questions and then taken on the shop floor for about 20 minutes to show my customer skills. I was told I would hear back at the end of August but got a phone call about 2 weeks after my interview offering me the job and asking me to come in for an induction day.
