I applied through university. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Twist) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a great interview process. They asked me many questions that I wasn’t expecting, but the interview was really polite and was caring and made sure that I didn’t feel any pressure.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sainsbury’s (Bamber Bridge, England)
Interview
Easy, walk little chat, sign some papers, job was explained to me and then they said keep an eye for the onboarding emails. Kept it low pressured and because it was during Covid I think they just needed people through the door to do the job
