I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Norwich, Inglaterra) in Sep 2015
Interview
We were taken to the staff cafe and had to wait while our documents were copied. Then taken to the interview room, just went round the room saying our name and where we lived. Next we were split up, half the table stayed upstairs and had 1 on 1 interviews and the other half went down to the shop floor. I went to the shop floor first and stacked some shelves and then packed customers shopping, this was a little awkward as some customers didn't want their shopping packed. After about half an hour we were taken back upstairs and had our 1 on 1 interviews. This went ok and wasn't as hard as I thought. After reading reviews about role play and making things from paper I was a little worried but we didn't do it. After two weeks I had a call to say they are still going though applications and will here shortly, so no offer as yet
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesco in Jun 2011
Interview
Hiring process - essentially, you will be taken into a room for a group interview with about 8-10 other people. There will be some form filling and some questions. Then you will have a one on one with the checkout manager. It consits of pretty much, 'what hours can you work' and 'when you can start'. Not sure about the firing process, ive been at my extra for the last year and have not seen anyone been fired.

Question 1
The flexi contracts; nothing is too difficult at tesco, just they will ask simply questions and slowly manipulate you and think what you are doing, perhaps form filling, is just a formality. They do everything for a reason. Just remeber that. Make sure you are prepared for any questions at the start of the interview or even when you are on the job, be three steps ahead of your manager.
