Completed a fairly short interview with two existing staff members (including manager) and then headed downstairs to do a trial shift to check how you performed on the checkouts and interacted with customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you have helped a customer or client.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Coventry, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
Brief group interview which involved questions directed at everyone and a team building exercise followed by an "assessment" at the tills where you stand and demonstrate your ability to chat to people. These were done on separate days. They basically employed everyone who made themselves heard and showed confidence.
It was simple, basically why do you want to join Tesco and some soft skill questions. Tell me about a time you worked in a group, try to answer in STAR format.
It was done by a manager in a back room. It was formal and it was about 20 minutes asking about experience, peoples skills etc. this might have changed as this was like 6 years ago now
