I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Durham, England) in July 2017
Interview
The interview process was fairly straight-forward. I was taken upstairs into the interview room and asked four or five pretty bog-standard competency questions, this lasted about 20 minutes. The 'second-part' of the formal interview was concerning why I had applied and other things going on in my life. After the formal interview, I was asked to go downstairs and 'help out' at the checkouts for about 20 minutes.

Question 1
Name a time you worked under pressure to achieve an outcome
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.

Question 1
Describe a time you have helped a customer or client.
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
