I applied online. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Chesham, England) in Feb 2019
Interview
Standard questions like where do I see myself in the future, how is my availability. Previous experience, and career goal. They asked me to provide specific scenarios of when I actad as a "team player", or " fast thinker"
It was quick and just a chat in the managers office. Important to be as available as possible. Why’s this word count so long? There was quite a few scenario questions and they got back to me quickly
I had a telephone interview initially followed by a face to face interview lasting approximately 1 hour. The telephone interview asked more generic questions and had different hiring personnel to the face to face interview. I met my line manager at the face to face interview stage and one other colleague.
Streamlined process with great communication with the interviewers/hr team. Competency questions, as well as simple math test to ensure you could work the tills. Friendly people. Group interview with one other person, plus a larger tour of the store.
