I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesco (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Dec 2024
Interview
Friendly and enjoyable. The people who interviewed me were very kind and knowledgeable about their job and the advertised role. They were formal and professional and made me feel welcomed on the day.
Tesco interview is a friendly, straightforward conversation focused on customer service and teamwork. Hiring managers typically ask scenario-based questions to assess how you handle fast-paced retail environments. Okay if slightly easy overall.
Pretty fun. Seemed like it would be hard work, but I thought the people would be nice to work with. All in all professional and interesting. Would recommend it as a process
Straight forward enough. Just a bit of a chat with store manager. Lasted about 20 mins or so. Had a look round the store and I asked about what the shifts were and if I could do part time to fit round school.
