I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesco
Interview
I had a group interview , there was a few of us in a room we all had to introduce ourselves to the big boss, then she asked us a question all answered one by one, then had to build a tower in groups , then had a 10min break, went back in and had my one on one interview she asked me a few questions e.g. when did you last go that extra mile fora customer , what could you bring to this company. I then was put out on shop floor for like 10mins and then was told I would have a phone call and letter. Had a phone call later that day to say I was successful, I was really pleased and btw it was so relaxed, it weren't like a interrogation room, they were really friendly, and can't wait to start working for them :)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Oldham, Inglaterra) in Oct 2014
Interview
The first question was and always tends to be- tell me more about yourself. Here you want to sell yourself say good things about yourself. Things that they would want to hear regarding the job. I talked about myself going gym and enjoying physical activities as part of my job is physical , moving cages from one place to another. Make sure you don't tell ur life story or bore them cos that's the last thing u wanna do.
After this I got asked scenario based questions such as: name a time you have worked under pressure? Name a time you had change your behaviour to suit someone else? What would you do if someone challenged your way of doing something, how would u handle the situation and would you challenge others? And finally what is your integrity? These were the questions she asked me I got put on the spot but managed to answer them. Make sure you prepare or it could be drastically awkward.
I was then given a tour of the store and shown where everything is.
Overall I'm giving it a neutral rating only because I struggle to stay calm and panic a lot :( if u are confident and calm you can ace this.
