I applied through jobs. Ie. I uploaded my cv and answered some multiple choice questions. Two days later I got a phone call and was asked to come in the following day to an interview. The room was small and I was interviewed by two members of management. I was asked first to tell them about myself and why I would like to work for Tesco.they told me it was a twenty hour contract but I might need to work more hours. They also told me I could be working in any department of the store from bakery to the till.

Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to deal with a difficult customer
The interview was with one individual and thus it was a more chilled environment than other interviews. It also consisted of only one stage rather than multiple interviews with different individuals across the shop.
The interview was engaging and welcoming, with thoughtful questions and a friendly atmosphere. I felt valued and happy, leaving confident about the role and excited for the job ahead. I would recommend the experience to anyone.
