Easy interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco in Jul 2015

Interview

It was a group interview- 15 of us. It was very relaxed and friendly. We all took turns to introduce ourselves, answered a couple of pretty standard interview questions (again taking turns around the room), got paired with a Tesco worker and shadowed them on the shop floor, helped pack bags at the tills, got into small groups to try to build a paper tower (not very successfully!)

Interview

Group interview by two managers . It was about 12 of us. Dress code was informal. Many students. We were asked various questions but anybody could answer them. No pressure to answer. It was for temporary Xmas recruitment drive so there was a sense of urgency and not much elaboration. I was called by phone to attend interview next day which was a bit rush.

Interview

Whilst waiting I sat in the break room. I then brought into a room with just the interviewer - a girl who works there and then asked to fill out a form with all my details and she asked me when I'm free during the week and noted it on a time sheet. I was asked five questions where I had to describe a situation to answer them.
