I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Jul 2016
Interview
was really laid back group interview, was only myself and 2 others. Was quite long though 2 and a half hours!! we had to make a 6ft sculpture out of paper which had to stand then we had to go down to till area and help customers pack their bags. Overall was easy and relaxed.
