Interview
I recently interviewed for a Stock Controller position at Tesco, and the process was quite straightforward. The interview was conducted in person by the hiring manager, who was friendly and professional. The questions were mostly competency-based, focusing on my previous experience with inventory management, handling stock discrepancies, and working under pressure. They also asked how I would prioritise tasks during busy periods and how I would ensure accuracy in stock levels. Overall, the interview felt well-structured, and I appreciated the chance to discuss my skills in detail.

Interview
Applied online. Called me to arrange an interview. Interview was around 20/30 mins, some competency based questions and others about more work-culture fits e.g. asking about hobbies, etc to see if you are well-rounded I guess? Gave clear and sufficiently elaborate answers. Was offered the job same day against a few dozen others which I was glad for.
