I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Southampton, Inglaterra) in Dec 2025
Interview
They asked me a few straightforward questions about my availability, why I wanted the job, and whether I’d worked in a team before. They also asked how I would help a customer who needed assistance on the shop floor. None of the questions felt difficult — it was more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview.
