I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Durham, Engeland) in Mar 2026
Interview
Straight forward usual interview techniques but twice I have interviewed for a store local to me and although I have loads of retail experience did not get the job - took a one elsewhere in the end for another retailer. Think head office select you for interview but then the manager looks like they are just going through the motions with interview and not really interested. Even though worked for tesco before and know all the rules and procedures still dont get job!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What did you do when faced with a difficult situation
Interview was comfortable and friendly, manager was there on time. Asked why I want to work at Tesco and about previous customer facing roles. Explained the process and training requirements really well and had the opportunity to ask questions.
Short interview easy to speak to manager chill laid back energy very run of the mill normal questions if I do say so myself honestly nothing to be stressing over
i applied online, got offered an interview within 2 weeks. she asked me some questions regarding my experience and then got me working on the tills to see how i liked it for about 10 minutes. after that i could leave.
