I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco in Jan 2015
Interview
Filled in an application from online. Got a phone call a couple of days later asking me to go in for an interview in the store. Was then interviewed by manager and assistant manager. Felt more like a terror investigation than an interview. Questions were nothing like I had expected and quite difficult to answer even though I had appropriate experience. Would of thought I was going for a manager position, not checkout assistant. Both interviewers were friendly but did not make me feel comfortable and relaxed when answering questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you did not agree with a mangers rules. How did you overcome this?
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
