I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesco (Coventry, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Group interview, which is unpleasant.They split us(11) in two teams and asked each team to build a tower made from insufficient newspaper. the tower should have had 6 feet height and the rule was to make it stable so that the tower stands up.
No team made it possible.
And after that, the 3 interviewers judged us on the tower stuff.
They want to check our team work. I did't make the tower task but that doesn't mean I am not able to work in/as a team...because I have previous experience in stores and also worked in many teams.

Other Customer Assistant Interview Reviews for Tesco
Really simple, nothing to catch you out. The interviewer walks you through the role and what to expect. Very relaxed atmosphere. They are thinking that its most people's first job and wouldn't expect much other than being a hard worker.
Interview was around 2.5 hours in total. Started with a group interview then 20 minutes on the shop floor shadowing a checkout colleague then finally a 1 to 1 interview with a manager.
Nice environment. Kind people. Asked the right questions and I felt I could ask any questions i had. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend to other people to do an interview with them.
