I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Keighley, England) in Jul 2015
Interview
I was invited to an Asda Magic Interview after appying on line. There was 10 of us altogether and we were asked to talk about the person next to us and tell every body about an interesting fact and what they would take to the moon. We then had to build a roller coaster out of Lego and give it a unique selling point. I tried not to take over the group as advised and let every one have a go. We then filled out a health questionnaire and a form giving details of what job/ hours we'd like to do. It was very informal and easy going. They said they would be in touch within a few days to say whether I'd been successful or silver medalist, which means your successful but they don't have the hours to suit. The interview was Monday the 27th July ( over a week ago) and I still haven't heard anything which is quite disappointing. I walked away from the interview feeling positive and any feedback would have been appreciated.
Straight forward, interviewed for all roles available, asked which positions I would prefer and why I believed I was suited for such positions, if I was comfortable with working early morning hours etc.

Question 1
As a personal shopper there is no set finish time, are you ok with this flexibility?
Was a very casual chat to get an idea of who I was rather than a full on bombardment of difficult questions. Was essentially offered a job on the spot.
