I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Gloucester, Inglaterra) in Nov 2014
Interview
Applied online, and that evening got a phone call asking me to come for an interview with bank details and passport. Interview was fine, had 10 minutes practice on checkouts, then was taken for a 1-1 interview. However, this was simply two questions about customer service. Then had a group activity of making a 6ft tower from paper.

Question 1
When have you done something different for a customer/out of comfort zone?
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.

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
