Interview
Applied online, the job close on the 24th May. Got a phone call to arrange an interview on the 5th June & had an interview on the 7th. The interview was good & very relaxed. The lady who interviewed me was really nice. If you get an interview there isn't much to worry about, it is very easy.

Question 1
Name a time you have had a setback & Joe you responded?
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Montrose, Scotland) in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online and received a phone call before the closing date and was asked to attend a group interview the following week. I have really bad anxiety about interviews but this interview actually wasn't too bad. There were 3 managers who were doing the interview.
There were 8 of us at the interview who all applied for different departments. To start with we filled out forms which took almost an hour then we went on the shop floor and were shown around and followed a personal shopper who demonstrated how everything worked. We then started the questions. There were 2 questions and each person had to give an answer. Luckily I had prepared well for the scenario questions so this wasn't an issue, I was more worried about talking in front of everyone. It is definitely less daunting compared to the 1:1 interview.
We then had a team building exercise which definitely shows what sort of character you are. I'm normally quite shy and this shows when working in a group but I tried to act confident which is what they want to see. We had to build a 6ft environmentally friendly tower using paper, tape and staples. We had 20 minutes to build it and it had to stand for 1 minute. We also had to have a team name and a group flag with 3 colours on it (our name was supermarket sweep lol).
After this we went to the canteen for a bit until they called our names. It was a 1:1 with one of the managers to chat about your availability and if you have any holidays planned etc.
Overall, the interview wasn't as bad as a 1:1 and I somehow managed to keep my anxiety at bay! So for all you worriers that have an interview, you'll be okay and don't stress too much about the group interview as it really isn't that bad! Hope I've helped :)

Interview
I applied online and got a phone call the next day asking me to come in for an interview. I met with the manager of the store and the whole interview lasted under 30 minutes. He gave me a sheet asking to fill in my availability whilst he took copies of my passport and NI number. Then he asked me the interview questions. The whole thing was really relaxed and the manager was friendly.
