I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco
Interview
Overall the interview lasted around half an hour to 45 minutes. I was bought into an office by one of the managers, who had all my paperwork printed out. She looked through my paperwork and asked occasional questions whilst I filled out a few forms. The forms included bank details, any information on health issues, and declarations that I understand health and safety within the work place, plus just general information like address etc. They also had to double check my passport, which was all ok.
I was then asked a few interview questions taken from a booklet, and my answers were written down and scored. The answers were very general interview questions, mainly to find out your past experience within work at how you deal with situations. I was also asked what hours I was available for.
Once the questions had been completed, I was told all the information about the job, contracted hours, bonuses, rate of pay, and then any questions that I had afterward.
I was quite nervous for this interview, and the manager picked up on that. The interview itself is very relaxed and easy, so try not to be nervous like I was.
For this interview I wore a white t-shirt with a pleated detail, a simple necklace, black cardigan, black trousers (not jeans), and simple black boots. I removed any facial piercings as I know they do not allow them in the work place.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Give an example of when you have gone above what is expected in order to help a customer.
Really straightforward, made to feel at ease. The manager seemed really nice and I’m excited to join Tesco’s. Recommend to school leavers,uni leavers, part time. They are super flexible if you want to work evenings for example
