Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time recently that you felt out of your comfort zone and how you dealt with it
Easy and quick. A few questions about prior experience. Some harsh questions about CV. Generally kind and easy going. Good Christmas party. Took a while to schedule an interview and some bosses were rude.
Manager was friendly, asked questions about why I want to work at Tesco and a couple of standard interview questions and gave the opportunity to ask questions of my own. Offered a trial shift but I couldn’t attend.
