      Sales Assistant Interview

      8 Jun 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco

      Interview

      Pretty straight forward - Was a 1 on 1 interview as this is a smallish shop. Just general questions to start of with like tell me about yourself - go over some of the stuff on your CV and how it relates to the job your applying for. They will ask you why you want to apply for tesco. Make sure you do your research on the company. Then there's scenario based questions like the ones below. Learn answers to them- they have a group of 5-10 questions they always ask. How you worked under pressure, how you deal with change you disagree with, examples of excellent customer service and so on. After that i had a very simple one hour work assessment on a later date, which was pairing off with a member of staff doing the delivery then doing my own cage for half an hour. Just make sure your friendly, ask questions and get involved etc

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      when have you been thrown in at the deep end and been asked to do something you're not used to? Describe a time when you have worked under pressure? Tell me about a occasion when you have disagreed about something/a new rule etc and how you dealt with it. Tell me about time when you have shown excellent customer service and gone out of your way. Why would you like to work for Tesco?
