Tesco festive colleague job

Hi! Does this mean you passed the online questionnaire? Just wondering if you could help out with some of the questions? pls pls its for a friend

Hey, I currently work at Tesco on a permanent part time basis and was employed last year as a temporary festive colleague as well. Trust me there's nothing to worry about the interview, I found it quite easy and standard tbh. It not a group interview just a standard 1 on 1 interview and lasts between 20-40 minutes (mine was shorter than my other colleagues). Its just mainly competency based questions i.e. tell me a time where you worked in a team, tell me a time where you overachieved, tell me a time where you gave good customer service; those are just three I can definitely remember them asking. Also they will ask about times you're available to work- make sure you say you're available practically the whole Christmas period and that you are flexible
(this is more or less more important than whatever you say in your interview tbh).

All in all its quite an easy interview and the manager that was doing mine was quite relaxed. My Tesco is looking to add 57 festive colleagues this Christmas so there's plenty of jobs to go round.

Got the interview in an hour wish me luck!! 😬😬

Good luck!!! 👍👍👍

Thank you it went really well I got offered a job and took it! The manager wasn't lovely and so was everyone there

Congrats! I have an interview next week. What were the questions likes? Also, were you given any shift details at the interview, and if so, what is your starting date?

Is this a one-to-one or a group interview?

THANk you! And it was a group interview we first went to the customer service desk then waited at the cafe with the others (around 5 Moreno people). We then got taken to the back of the big Tesco and went to a classroom sorry of room, where we met the manager/interviewer. We said our name ect and filled in some sheets with The date on it and things such as health and availabilities which was a tick sheet. She then asked us some questions which we had to speak about to the group.
They were if I can remember correctly name something which makes you stand out from everybody else? What's something which you haven't wanted to do but you've done anyway and I can't remember the last one.
we then went into another room which was in the canteen and one by one the interviewer called us in to the room we were just in.

I don't know how everybody else's went but she said there were 2 F and F jobs which matched my times which I had ticked off on the sheet. So I chose one which matched my availability, and she offered me the job which I took. She also asked if we had any problems with health.

and that's about it but tomorrow I am going for my open day where we have to watch videos and do rumbling which is doing stuff with the cardboard my friend had told me who works there. (9am-6pm but you get paid) My interview was on Wednesday and I was meant to start on Sunday after tomorrow's open day thing. but I am busy on Sunday so I am starting on Tuesday.

I hope this helps and I am nervous but also excited about starting my new temporary job. 😬☺️Ps everyone ear says £7.22 ph I think it is!

yeah why not I'll see if can screenshot the answers
