I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Aberystwyth, Wales) in Sept 2018
Interview
Applied online, within a few weeks I received a email asking if I could come into the store for an interview. I was able to choose a day and time that fit around my studies and I went in. The interview took about an hour in total to complete.
I applied online, completed a short assessment, and attended an interview focused on customer service, teamwork, and availability. Afterwards, I completed right-to-work checks, induction training, and sometimes a trial shift.
The interview went very well overall, with a thoughtful and engaging conversation that felt easy and productive, and I left feeling confident about my experience, the team dynamic, and my fit for the role.
The interview process at Tesco is generally clear, structured, and focused on understanding both a candidate’s skills and their fit with Tesco’s values. It usually begins with an online application followed by a short online assessment that may include situational judgement questions or basic skills tests. Successful candidates are then invited to an interview, which can be either in person or over video.
