I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Portstewart, Northern Ireland) in Jul 2014
Interview
Filled out an online application. Within about a week or so, received a call from the store manager asking me to come down for an interview. When I arrived I was taken to one of the managers office and interviewed, being asked a few general questions. After the question stage was over I was introduced to another team member and they showed me how to stock the shelves. This lasted for about five minutes, then I was brought to the tills and helped out there for a further five minutes. After this I was thanked and told the interview stage was complete and I could go home. The whole process lasted around an hour and a half.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Chelmsford, Inglaterra) in Apr 2013
Interview
This was a group interview. Candidates were given a sheet of paper each with a desert island scenario and the interviewers asked someone to read it out. As someone who volunteered to read it out to everyone when the others all shook their heads and refused, this impressed the interviewers.
There was a list of 20 items and only 5 could be chosen to use on a desert island. The group had to have a 15 - 20 minute discussion of what these items should be.
After that, copies of everyone's passports and National Insurance cards were made whilst the candidates filled out a basic application form to let staff know the best shifts to work.

Interview
Had an interview with standard questions. The interviewer was quite relaxed and casual. We spoke about different jobs available within the store. I was only interested in the role I had applied for however they offered me a job that was completely different - I rejected it until they offered me the job I had actually applied and interviewed for.
