I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Kilmarnock, Scotland) in Mar 2012
Interview
Requested an application from from the desk(these are now phased out everything is online). The application from is very standard except a psychometric test on the back - This part is very important as there is a set of answers being looked for. Many employees used a friend to get the cheat sheet.
Was contacted by phone within 2 days of handing the form in and requested to an interview
Interview was nothing special, there are set questions they ask.
Post interview i was contacted by phone the next day and offered a start date.
Possibly the easiest hiring process i have ever experienced.
Quick and easy interview. Asked how to deal with customers and complaints including how to deal with certain situations e.g. shoplifting and refunds. Interviewer was very polite and to the point.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Time you have gone above and beyond for a customer
Application for the role was online. The interview process itself was a generic one, where I was asked a few competency and fit questions by a couple people from HR. This lasted around 30 minutes in total.
My interview experience at Tesco was incredibly positive! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and valued. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, immediately putting me at ease. They asked insightful questions about my previous experience and skills, genuinely interested in understanding how I could contribute to their team.
