I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Pitsea, England) in Nov 2013
Interview
Sat down with a group of applicants to watch a video of the how Tesco works. This is after passing the initial multiple-choice application form. The video was over an hour and after the video you are shown around the store.
Tesco interview is a friendly, straightforward conversation focused on customer service and teamwork. Hiring managers typically ask scenario-based questions to assess how you handle fast-paced retail environments. Okay if slightly easy overall.
Pretty fun. Seemed like it would be hard work, but I thought the people would be nice to work with. All in all professional and interesting. Would recommend it as a process
Straight forward enough. Just a bit of a chat with store manager. Lasted about 20 mins or so. Had a look round the store and I asked about what the shifts were and if I could do part time to fit round school.
