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.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Coventry, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online and was called to attend a group interview a few days later. The group interview consisted of competency based questions, group activity (to build a tower using paper, scissors and tape), and then questions about how we did the activity as a group. They are looking for leadership in this activity. After the group interview, I had an individual one with the manager. And she just asked me about my availability and asked me to complete like a questionnaire. I was then told that I would hear back in a week if I was successful.. and I did. I passed the interview stage but apparently had problems with Right To Work Check so they did not offer me the job in the end. Although I think they lied to me.
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
