I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Manchester, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
Apply online and submit right to work in UK (passport etc). Complete online assesment (hint -
customer focused and recommend tesco brand alternatives) Automated email if passed/failed. Hiring manager filters through and selects candidates for interview. Email inviting to book slot for interview. Interview usually with store manager. Will ask below or similar questions. After questions, short customer service assessment (This is occassionally skipped depending on manager and how busy store is) on shop floor usually on a till with a member of staff who will let you serve a few customers after showing how to use a till. Manager will observe and then return to original interview room. They may offer you a job there and then or contact you in a few days with a yes or no. Make sure you take right to work to interview as will not continue without it. Must complete induction days before starting in store.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
MANAGING CHANGE
Tell me about a time you did something different that you would not normally have to do?
How did this make you feel?
Outcome?
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
