I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Glasgow, Escocia) in May 2016
Interview
I applied for a Tesco Express in Glasgow, and within a day of my right to work being approved, I got a phone call from the store on a Sunday. I missed the first call and phoned back around 10 minutes later to find the recruiting manager had left and she would phone me back the next day. 3 days pass and no phone call! So I thought that I had been unsuccessful as I couldn't get through to the store anymore. Two days later I get a phone call st work from the manager asking me when I was next free and she apologies for all the confusion - she was away on business. Anyways, my interview was on Monday, she explained that she was meeting with her deputy manager the following day to discuss all the applicants. Interview was very informal, just a chat followed along with 4 name a time when.. Questions. She said she would let me know within 48 hours of their decision. Around an hour later I got a phone call from the manager explaining that as soon as I left, she knew she wanted to offer me the job, which I gladly accepted! My induction is tomorrow, and she wanted to me to start on Saturday but unfortunately I have a 2 week notice at my current job. For anyone panicking out there, don't! I'm only 20 but it is the most chilled out interview I've ever been to, and don't panic if you don't hear back straight away either!

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesco in Aug 2016
Interview
My interview was on a Friday When I arrived I approached the first member of staff and was told the manager was around the corner and to go see him. When I reached the manager he was stood discussing with another member of staff saying how he had 8 of us to interview and that the successful ones would be doing induction training on the Monday as they no longer have to wait 4 weeks like the old days. I was taken to a small back office to wait with another member of staff as he put me at ease and was honestly lovely. The manager then showed me up to the interview room and we discussed my experience at another supermarket. He asked various questions that he wanted me to give examples of. One of the T's&C's of applying is that you have to commit to the hours advertised which I could do but then asked what other hours I could do I made it clear I could do the hours advertised as they were suitable for my situation and I could do any school hours available but not weekends hence why I applied for the hours I did as they didn't include weekends. I was then taken on the shop floor and asked to help replenish stock from the delivery they had received I was there for just over an hour. The manager then called me bac up to the interview put on his best grin shook my hand and said thank you for coming we'll email you in 7 days. So I knew straight away I was unsuccessful due to the earlier conversation he was openly having on the shop floor that successful candidates would be offered the job so they could start training two days later. I received an email on the Thursday stating I had been unsuccessful and I was gutted but now have a job elsewhere that pays a whole lot more!

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Southampton, Inglaterra) in Sep 2016
Interview
Interviewed a few people and as there were several positions available, questions were mainly scenario and competency based. Was then spoken to by another manager who was looking at how different candidates would be suited to all roles available. I was told I would hear back within a week, but in reality I got a call about 2 hours later offering me a position, although different from what I applied for, it was better suited to my personality and skills which would benefit both of us.
