Interview

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online through the Tesco careers website. I had to put in the usual personal information and then take a situational judgement test. It's quite simple, they ask you what you might do in a certain situation that you would experience while doing the job. After successfully completing this, I was invited to an interview. It was one on one and they asked some standard questions like: Tell me a little about your self?, Why did you choose Tesco?, Tell me about a time when you were under pressure to complete a task? After successfully completing the interview, I was invited to a driving assessment. They take you out in a van and you have to drive around for approx. 30mins. Finally I was offered the job.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Liverpool, Inglaterra) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online, got a phone call to attend an interview the next day. Looked on here for interview questions which really helped me prepare. I felt like I was really lucky with this one as the staff were so friendly and the stock manager who interviewed me was lovely.
My interview was very relaxed and felt like I was just having a conversation with the guy. Went through the questions with ease, had a bit of a laugh with the guy and a good conversation.
After the interview I got escorted onto the shop floor where I shadowed a colleague who was supervising the self service tills, was very informal just for 10 mins to see how I found that department. After that we went through some general information like availability and any holidays booked.
About 3 days later received a phone call to say I've got the job.
If you try and take note of all the variety of questions people have been asked on here and think of the answers beforehand you should do well! Also Tesco are all about their customer service so really emphasise your skills in this area - if you don't have the skills then make it up!
Overal be friendly and smiley because thats the kind of people they are looking for :)
