I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Chesterfield, Engeland) in Dec 2025
Interview
Got a call asking my availability about the job I had applied to on the website. Later got an email to upload right to work documents and then one saying to book interview.
Then I rocked up to the interview all confident and ready to get hired... Until I realised they made it a group interview without informing anyone. I hadn't prepared for a group interview so I was a bit distraught and shy, didn't get the job though, probably because there were two other people who stood out really well and had loads of experience.

Interview
Quite simple. Met with one staff member who asked pretty basic questions. Once I’d passed that I met the manager I’d be working under. She asked a few questions but it was more I think for her to get a better feel of my personality. She confirmed on the spot I was hired and what hours I’d want.
