I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ASDA (Cardiff, Wales) in Oct 2011
Interview
It was a group interview. You met and introduced yourself and then had to present a mock advert selling an item. You were judged on how you worked well within a group and your general attitude. This was around 2010 but I believe they have changed the way recruitment now works. You work in a group building a tower out of spaghetti.
Straight forward, interviewed for all roles available, asked which positions I would prefer and why I believed I was suited for such positions, if I was comfortable with working early morning hours etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As a personal shopper there is no set finish time, are you ok with this flexibility?
Was a very casual chat to get an idea of who I was rather than a full on bombardment of difficult questions. Was essentially offered a job on the spot.
