I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Hove, England) in Oct 2013
Interview
Had to complete a multiple choice application form which seemed relatively easy, was invited for an interview shortly after that which was relatively casual. Was then invited on a group induction training day.
Completed a fairly short interview with two existing staff members (including manager) and then headed downstairs to do a trial shift to check how you performed on the checkouts and interacted with customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you have helped a customer or client.
It was simple, basically why do you want to join Tesco and some soft skill questions. Tell me about a time you worked in a group, try to answer in STAR format.
It was done by a manager in a back room. It was formal and it was about 20 minutes asking about experience, peoples skills etc. this might have changed as this was like 6 years ago now
