Tesco interview questions

Very inefficient. After passing all stages till assessment centre, told me they normally don't provide sponsorship. I don't know why the **** they didn't tell me at the beginning. Then kept me waiting to see if they can do it for me. The recruitment team called me and expressed the concern, and I spent plenty of time firguring out the solution and helping solve every concern raised by Tesco. At first, told me that the problem is to provide the government with the marketing research, and I found out that I have exemption for it. I consulted fully certificated and lisenced lawyer that Tesco has nothing to pay and no trouble in providing sponsorship to a Tier 4 Visa student. Then simply told me Tesco just doesn't do sponsorship at all, so why gave me such an altisonant reason that Tesco needs to provide such proof to the government? Tesco is a fully licensed company for recruiting non-EU employees. What's the point in having this? Decoration? After being kept waiting for weeks, and only got a simple "NO" without any feedbacks. Could just say no at the beginning. Such a customer-focused company has such weak ability to treat people. In total the whole process is arrogant, inefficient and racist.

I applied online answering basic questions that take down the majority of applicants based on what they answer, it was fairly simple if you apply common sense, then I got a phone call about 11am two days later (I applied the day that the application closed) asking me to go to an interview. My transport fell through and they agreed to move the date to the next day. Arriving at the interview we were sat in a room, papers stacked in front of us about criminal records, availability, NI number and other paperwork. We were given a brief about what the job was going to be about, what it entailed and what was expected of us during the course of the employment. The manager, the line manager and the guy who phoned me came in. After a quick question and answering round, of which I didn't really say much, we were escorted throughout the store and shown the areas we would be working, the health and safety and some of the people we would be working with. This stage only took about 30 minutes and wasn't completely thorough but enough to get a feel of the job. At this point we were about two hours into it (one of the guys that turned up asked a question after every point, which delayed a lot of it). Back in the room we were asked questions about what we had just been shown, expecting to answer, it wasn't nothing too formal, the guy interviewing us did a great job at making it comfortable so we were joking around. Afterwards we were offered a 10 minute break and I was the first to be interviewed. The room was small and the interview was only about 5 minutes, it was uncomfortable and I spent the majority of the time story-explaining my points and moving my arms too much. The guy ended the interview after I asked some basic questions: Would the contract be extended? Would my hours be extended? What is the rest of the interview process and how long would I wait for the next stage. I was contacted four or five days later asking me if I still wanted the job and that it was mine, I was to come in that Saturday for an induction at 10am. It was paid, it lasted about five or six hours. The hours advertised, however, changed but that was really the only complaint. We were shown videos about Tesco and shown around again.
