Easy interview

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Livingston, Scotland) in Feb 2022

Interview

Got it! For a standard Tesco store role, it's typically a short, informal chat with a few basic questions about yourself and why you're applying, followed by some behavioural questions about teamwork and past experience. Pretty straightforward stuff.

I interviewed at Tesco

Interview

The interview was with one individual and thus it was a more chilled environment than other interviews. It also consisted of only one stage rather than multiple interviews with different individuals across the shop.
