Interview
Online application - pretty easy
Telephone Interview - pleasant
1to1 Interview - Hell
Dot com Manager who interviewed me started off nice enough. Explained the role of a Personal Shopper, how he'd started at Tesco, blah blah blah.
Then asked me about my eight year absence from employment. I explained that I have Bipolar Disorder and went through a very rough time, but after looking after myself and being stable with medication and therapy, I was ready to return to work.
He then proceeded to tell me that he couldn't have somebody who cried all the time and shouted at people for no reason. I was fuming!!!! I just got up and left. Complained to head office about my interview experience and they were extremely apologetic and promised to pass my details to the store manager so that he could apologise to me personally. Still waiting 3 months later!.

Question 1
How does this role fit in your career aspirations?
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Folkestone, England)
Interview
Applied for part-time and the interview process was very casual. Was shown around the store before being taken into the back and asked a few basic questions. Felt more like a conversation than an interview.
Fairly easy and straightforward interview. I felt comfortable talking to interviewer. It wasnt too long either. Just asked basic questions about why you want to work there and examples of when you have shown you are hardworking etc. Also if you are ok with the early shifts (6am, sometimes 4am during seasonal rush)
