I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco
Interview
Had to apply online, answer the usual stuff and then read some scenarios and what you would do in them. Got told at the interview that anyone who passes that part automatically gets an interview.
Went along, chatted with a manager who asked about school and previous work and why I wanted the job. Then I had to go down on the shop floor and observe someone on a till and try it out.
Did not hear back for about 2 weeks but when I did, they offered me the job. You then go along to 2 induction days and have 13 weeks training in your chosen area.

Describe a time when you have overcome conflict at work?
Applied for the job online on Thursday by filling out the Tesco online questionnaires, got a call the following day for an interview, and the day after I was in for the interview. Was asked to fill out a basic form (any medical problems, list of some rules and regulations). Was then called into a room with two interviewers: One asked the questions, the other took notes from my answers. All questions were based on different life experiences I had
