The interview process was fine. Was asked some basic questions about how I handled a tricky situation, and how I manage a situation when there's multiple tasks to complete (basically, can you handle a problem, and prioritise properly, and know when to ask for management).

Interview
We talked about my previous retail experience and how I’ve handled busy shifts, helping customers, and working as part of a team. They asked a few scenario-based questions, like how I’d deal with a difficult customer or what I’d do if I noticed a shelf was empty. I gave examples from my last job where I stayed calm under pressure and kept things running smoothly.
Simple interview, just like a normal job interview. Nothing special, had to go to the tesco store and was seen by the manager. just a normal interview, nothing special about it at all
