      Application

      I interviewed at Tesco (Glasgow, Scotland)

      Interview

      group of three of us, just a chat. They asked about past experiences and showed us round the place. Most of the interview was spent with the interviewers chatting to the two other people in the room about their families. It wasn't bad, but also seemed unfair as I'm introverted.

      Interview

      I applied for a shop assistant role at Tesco online, filling in my details and availability. After a few days, I was invited to an interview, which took place in-store. The interviewer asked me questions about customer service, teamwork, and how I would handle busy situations or difficult customers. I gave examples from my past experiences to show my communication skills and reliability. The interview felt relaxed and conversational rather than formal. I was also asked about my flexibility with shifts. Overall, the process was straightforward, and I heard back within about a week with the outcome.
