I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Tesco (Lewisham, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
Good interview in stages and friendly people. Interview was long and a bit repetitive. Wish they had been upfront about hours to start. Asked about my reliability, handling cash and people skills.
Applied online - completed assessment successfully - contacted by someone by telephone on a withheld number - was unable to tak the call because, you now, I have a life am busy driving to interview, interviewing etc - was emailed from a noreply email address and told my application had been withdrawn because I was "uncontactable".
Thank you for wasting my time, Tesco
