I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Manchester, England) in Aug 2013
Interview
This was a group interview at their Didsbury branch involving around 10 people and two members of staff. It lasted around 45 minutes and was relatively easy if you prepared. After the interview was finished they did some very quick training in arranging the stock on the shelves and then made us do it for 10 minutes. Although they claimed it was part of the interview we all felt like we were being made to work for free with the time left. I was at university elsewhere at the time and didn't get the job as they wanted someone for longer than the summer
Interview was around 2.5 hours in total. Started with a group interview then 20 minutes on the shop floor shadowing a checkout colleague then finally a 1 to 1 interview with a manager.
Nice environment. Kind people. Asked the right questions and I felt I could ask any questions i had. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend to other people to do an interview with them.
Very easy, just asked a few questions about my experience and my availability on time etc. what days i can work and my flexability on the dates i can do
