Interviewed by two people, one was the manager. Interview was about half an hour long - asked about previous retail experience and community / any charity work that I had done previously.

Question 1
How will you handle the times? (shifts were early)
It was quite lengthy, but overall just a short and sweet interview asking about my experience and skills. The interview itself did not last long but the management was nice and respectful to me the entire time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Southampton, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
They asked me a few straightforward questions about my availability, why I wanted the job, and whether I’d worked in a team before. They also asked how I would help a customer who needed assistance on the shop floor. None of the questions felt difficult — it was more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview.

Question 1
They asked me why I wanted to work at Tesco. It was a really straightforward question, and it felt easy to answer because I just talked about wanting steady work, enjoying practical tasks, and liking the idea of being part of a team.
Great, I really enjoyed my interview and my interviewer was very knowledgeable and helpful. I didn’t get the position this time around but I would certainly apply for similar jobs here in the future.
