      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (London, England)

      Interview

      Great experience! Initial online application, with multiple choice questions with what would be the best & worst things to do. The next day I was invited to do a video interview with questions about flexibility with hours & locations and 3 questions (I won't list them as other reviewers already have previously). Then within a couple of days I received an email inviting me to book in online for a face to face interview at my local store. Interview lasted about 1.5 hours as there were quite a few questions to go through! Don't forget your right to work document or you will be turned away before the interview starts. General questions about the hours & that sort of thing, then questions where they explain the qualities and skills needed for the job and then ask you to describe a situation where you used those skills or qualities. Qualities & questions were regarding decision making, motivation & resilience. Last question was to describe your personality in 3 words. The interviewing Manager was lovely,   and it was a positive experience. A couple of hours later I received a call asking me to meet the Manager at the store where there was a CTM vacancy (they were lovely too) & so I went the same day & then I received a call at the end of the day offering me the position and I accepted. I start on Monday! I am delighted to be joining such a professional, welcoming and accomodating company and if you have an interview too then good luck! (Dress smart, arrive early & take your passport too!). One thing to keep in mind is that you might be offered a position that isn't in your local store. CTM's can be offered positions anywhere within a radius of 1 hour from home. You may be lucky and be offered a role at your local store or you might need to travel a little - ask at interview.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Godalming, England) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Quick and a waste of time. Called me to book an interview, I had to do the online compliance and they then emailed me a link where I can prep for the interview which I spent a couple of hours doing the night before. I then get in the car to leave and quickly check my emails to say that my interview has been cancelled with no explanation.
