I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Haydock, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
Interview process was very good. I was welcomed at the customer service desk and was directed to the Manager of the store who was extremely friendly, nice and talkative. I was then taken to the staff room and given a document and pen. The document contain how many hours you can work? Minimum and maximum hour you can work? Etc. You had 3 choices and was asked which departments would you like to work in? and you was then asked What other potential Tesco stores would you like to work at or relocate too? After completing it for around 7-10Minutes I then had my Interview with the store manager in a room. We then discussed my working flexibility and then she started to tick boxes on a sperate booklet and she then started to ask me questions related to my experience. After the questions were over she then asked for my Passport I gave my National Insurance number and my Birth Certificate. After, that She then asked would I go out on the shop floor working with another member of staff. I was then told to clear shelves and remove boxes that were empty and dispose the boxes and then re-organise products on shelves. Any products that weren't supposed to be there I then had to relocate to appropriate shelve for me there was butter on the shelve when it wasn't there so I ask my colleague were should I put this he then showed me where to put it. I then asked the colleague a couple of questions and just being talkative and friendly but getting on with the task in hand. After that, I was then taken back to the interview room with the store manager and we discussed the rate of pay and what benefits I could receive and if I was successful that I needed to participate in an induction day and that I will receive a phone call in few days if successful. I was then shown out of the offices and the store.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Cardiff, Gales) in Mar 2016
Interview
Its a 3 stage interview process. The first is some kind of ridiculous challenge involving a person who has access to a picture that nobody can see, he/she describes the scene it without naming specifically what it is (i.e. a lake is a large pool of water), the others all try to draw this by asking closed questions. I believe the drawing is not of importance, your ability to ask insightful questions and to listen well is probably recorded.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The second part is a role play where you may play the part of a CSM who has a troubled customer. How you react to try to mitigate the problem and uphold the values of the company is of interest. In my case it was an angry customer who had travelled a long way to a theme park only to find that it was closed without notice on the website.
