I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesco (London, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online, it was a lengthy application with the optional upload of a CV. i got a call from the manager roughly 2-3 days after the deadline had passed who explained to me that my application was successful and that I was invited to a group interview. I got the details (time, date, location etc).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Group interview:
- Groups of 3-4
- Tasked to design a product with team mates
- I guess they were testing our communication skills, how we interact with colleagues/people, if we let everyone talk rather than dominate etc (basically, be you, be social, friendly etc)
Followed by a 1-1 interview (3D-CV)
- Your CV in a short 3-4 min presentation
- Talk about you, your past roles, your interests, your skills, why you applied to the job
- Got asked a few questions about situations in workplace (basic competency, what would you do if XYZ happened in this store etc etc)
- Bring props for the CV presentation
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Ipswich, England) in Jun 2025
Interview
Applied online. Called me to arrange an interview. Interview was around 20/30 mins, some competency based questions and others about more work-culture fits e.g. asking about hobbies, etc to see if you are well-rounded I guess? Gave clear and sufficiently elaborate answers. Was offered the job same day against a few dozen others which I was glad for.

How would you approach balancing your responsibilities, which are often under time-pressured deadlines, with helping customers on the shop-floor?
Great interview, management were great and had a clear interview structure that made the whole process flow and came out with a clear understanding of the role and requirements that led to me accepting the role.
