It was done by a manager in a back room. It was formal and it was about 20 minutes asking about experience, peoples skills etc. this might have changed as this was like 6 years ago now
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Leeds, England)
Interview
Basic questions about teamworking and times when you have helped others (either in work or school setting). How do you handle pressure or calm situations etc. After a about 5 questions I was given a tour of the store and introduced to the staff. Didn't take more than 40 mins in total. Offered the job on the spot.
Tesco’s interview process is generally straightforward and positive. It's conversational and designed to gauge basic suitability rather than technical depth. With a few well-prepared examples and a confident, friendly approach, it’s a very accessible process.!
