It seemed quite formal and clinical. Wasn't a great setting. There were a group of us on a room and was quite awkward. There was a small assessment centre and questions afterwards.
I originally applied online for a part time checkout job online, 4 weeks later I got a call inviting me to the magic assessment.
I had never done a group interview before and safe to say I were terrified!
Was around 2 of us in a room, first we had to find out about the person next to us and then relay what we found out back to the group - easy enough.
Next we were split into 4 groups and had to design a sweet bar and someone from each group had to explain the concept to the others. (I decided to do this and this probably got me bonus points!)
The next morning I got a call to come in for a 1 to 1 interview for the same day and was told there and then the only vacancy available was on the deli counter, I still took this as it was better pay than my job now and wanted to get into the company!
I was then called around 2 hours after and offered the job!
I worried about nothing, the interview was absolutely fine and not terrifying at all. Be chatty and try to get noticed and you will do fine!
Looking forward to my welcome day next week.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Ipswich, England)
Interview
We were asked to tell the managers about our reason to apply to Asda, and then we were assigned get to know each others to find out about a few facts about other applications.
Next, we were put in a group of 3 and were asked to deliver a short presentation about the product that we picked.
The process was pretty easy, short and fun. I didn't really dress up to impress and answered all of the questions honestly rather than treating it like a formal interview. Some people can be harder to work with as they are too focused on making themselves looks good rather than working as a team.
Show them that you will work well with others, creative and have a positive personality to bring.
I applied online. I interviewed at ASDA (Minworth, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
You have to attend this stupid group assessment where you're watched by four or five staff including management and older colleagues to see if you fit into the ASDA culture. Made to do silly things to show that you are good with people. A bit laughable and somewhat humiliating as we aren't monkeys.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked what I'd bring with me if I was on a deserted island, and if I ever went snow skiing.
