The Tesco thread.

I had an interview with tesco on friday which went well they said i would here back from them. They rang me on monday for an induction for friday so i said yes but on wedensday i got an email saying i was unsuccesful im confused they have not rang me to cancel the induction so shall i still just turn up on friday for the induction

Are you sure you haven't applied for 2 different jobs and because you have been accepted for one you got rejected for another? If not.. If you have a number for them give them a call, and yes, definitely show up for your induction.

Did anyone else receive an invite to interview call where the manager was very specific about you needing to bring your passport, birth certificate, recent utility bill and national insurance card? The auto-response "if you're invited to interview" e-mail led me to believe I'd only need to bring my passport and maybe possibly my national insurance card, but she was very specific about me needing to bring all of those items in . Obviously I'll take them as requested, but it just struck me as being slightly over the top for an 8 hour slot on the fish counter...

It's the law, that all employers need to make sure employees are legal to work in the UK, no matter how many or little hours they work!

So I got an job offer for Personal Shopper for early monday and friday at 6:00 am flexi contract.

Anyone had experience with this role and how did it fare? also when do you get uniform? because over phone they said wear your own trousers and shirt

I'm ringing my manager tomorrow but I'm feeling a little impatient, does anybody know if Tesco Express Stores allow people to work between 2 stores to suit University?

Its up to the individual managers in question. You will be on one store's payroll and the other you'd be doing overtime in. ie. hours at their discretion and they have to transfer the money to your old store for them to be able to pay you. If because of uni you are not fulfilling your contracted hours you are essentially not turning up for work. You can ask for a career/lifestyle break *but* I doubt they would agree to it on the basis of uni and another store as OT. It would be easier for you to leave and them fill your vacancy. It is up to your manager but I wouldn't like to bank on being accommodated in your current store and another one you've never been to for OT.

In the group I'm on we regularly do OT in other stores but as its the same group they just transfer it between stores. Its more of a pain doing it between groups I believe.

You might be better trying to transfer to Superstore, there is usually more hours going ie. Christmas temps.

I wouldn't try to transfer to an express as there are only a few employees in them unlike super stores. I was told if I wanted a job to try to transfer to a superstore as they can normally agree to get you a job.

The person I quoted works *in* Express and I suggested Superstore for a transfer.

To be honest I enjoy working Express and we have so many Superstore employees desperate to transfer. We have an awful lot of deputy and store managers who have come from Superstore and much prefer our format too.

Thank you for your interest in Tesco and for taking the time to apply for the role in xxx.

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your application and to let you know that we will be in contact in due course to let you know the outcome of your application.

Hiya all,
Any idea how long till I get a phone call? i've applied to numerous positions which were recently released, with each application coming back with the email saying
However, the first of the applications I sent was on the 16th and still haven't heard anything. Am I impatient, or have I not got the job? How long shall I wait before contacting them, and shall I contact the branch or head office?
