I got an assessment centre one too, but I'm not an internal applicant. I don't know what's going on...I'll have to email them again as Im confused, maybe they want me to book my place at assessment just in case I pass my telephone interview l, which I still need to book once a slot becomes available.

Hi what sort of things are included in the online tests after you have submitted your application? Is it a maths test? I dont like maths haha :P

I applied for the Marketing Graduate Scheme and had my telephone in interview on 6th January. They said they would let me know either way the outcome of my interview by the following Monday at the latest. I haven't heard from them yet... I've tried emailing about 5 times and haven't had a reply, and I've tried calling their Switchboard but the person they put me through to in Corporate Marketing Graduate Recruitment never picks up. They gave me her personal email and she has also failed to reply..

Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice on what to do?

I had an interview on the 21st and got told the next Monday as well, but haven't heard anything either. What did you apply to?
Which schemes have people been applying for and when/where are their assessment centres?

Store management scheme
Assessment centre between 3-13th March.

However I'm still waiting for a store visit.. Bit disorganised considering the days I said I was free were 4-6th feb and 12th. They still haven't emailed me back.

My phone interview has finally been completed.
Basic competency questions about your values, leadership skills, problem solving, your motivations, why do you want to work for tesco?
What external factors will impact tesco in the near future?
Competitors activity
What do they do better

I've got a mixed feeling. I did really well on the competency based part. However, commercial related questions were too specific and as I was first questioned on that section I've kind of went uuuhhh hmm few times as I was still stressed
Let's see, she told me i can expect a feedback over the phone next week.
Overall, I'm happy with my own performance as it was my first ever phone interview. I think I did well for a first time.
But let's wait and see.
When did you actually hear back from them?
I believe if they don't come back to me soon it would mean im placed on hold
However if I'm successful or fail, then they will soon inform me
Are you still waiting to hear from them for your store visit?
