I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Glasgow, Scotland) in July 2012
Interview
Online questionnaire, followed by a group interview. Group interview with 6 others and asked various questions about store, customer service etc. given enough time for everyone to respond. Try and speak up in first few people to show initiative. Then a relaxed conversation with 1 manager in another room asking about availability and holidays. Finally, one question with the personnel manager in another room. Then took 3 weeks to give an offer to attend the induction.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Ipswich, England) in June 2025
Interview
Applied online. Called me to arrange an interview. Interview was around 20/30 mins, some competency based questions and others about more work-culture fits e.g. asking about hobbies, etc to see if you are well-rounded I guess? Gave clear and sufficiently elaborate answers. Was offered the job same day against a few dozen others which I was glad for.

How would you approach balancing your responsibilities, which are often under time-pressured deadlines, with helping customers on the shop-floor?
Great interview, management were great and had a clear interview structure that made the whole process flow and came out with a clear understanding of the role and requirements that led to me accepting the role.
