I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Bishops Stortford, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
Group interview, mostly a formality but some time spent behind checkout to test how we did on the shop floor and in front of customers.
Overall was quick and easy from when I applied to being interviewed and hired.
Completed a fairly short interview with two existing staff members (including manager) and then headed downstairs to do a trial shift to check how you performed on the checkouts and interacted with customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you have helped a customer or client.
It was simple, basically why do you want to join Tesco and some soft skill questions. Tell me about a time you worked in a group, try to answer in STAR format.
It was done by a manager in a back room. It was formal and it was about 20 minutes asking about experience, peoples skills etc. this might have changed as this was like 6 years ago now
