I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Glasgow, Scotland) in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. I applied online, then got invited for a short in-person interview. The manager mainly asked about my availability, reliability, and why I wanted to work for Tesco. It felt relaxed and conversational rather than formal, which made it comfortable.

Question 1
Q: What was the one thing that they asked you?
A: “Why do you want to work at Tesco?”
→ I answered by saying I was looking for a role where I could be part of a team, contribute to keeping things organised, and gain work experience in a professional environment.
Q: What hours are you available to work?
A: I explained my flexibility and willingness to work evenings and weekends if needed.
It was quite lengthy, but overall just a short and sweet interview asking about my experience and skills. The interview itself did not last long but the management was nice and respectful to me the entire time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Southampton, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
They asked me a few straightforward questions about my availability, why I wanted the job, and whether I’d worked in a team before. They also asked how I would help a customer who needed assistance on the shop floor. None of the questions felt difficult — it was more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview.

Question 1
They asked me why I wanted to work at Tesco. It was a really straightforward question, and it felt easy to answer because I just talked about wanting steady work, enjoying practical tasks, and liking the idea of being part of a team.
Great, I really enjoyed my interview and my interviewer was very knowledgeable and helpful. I didn’t get the position this time around but I would certainly apply for similar jobs here in the future.
