Hi all, I have gone through the process of tesco's graduate scheme and i have been offered a job with them. am sooooooooooooo happy.
it was very easy to pass. here are the phone interview questions, some are very random but hey, it worked:
Why Tesco?
Why your chosen role?
what is your favourite piece of clothing and why?
If you ever discovered a planet, how would you name it and why?
What are your core strengths and tell me about your weaknesses?
How would you deal with a naked customer or fellow employee, tell me about your thought process?
If you were a vegetable, what kind of person would you prefer to be eaten by?
What unique aspect can you bring to the company?
I know these sound weird, but i realised there was logic behind all of them.
Also for those of you who pass, you will attend an assessment centre, here you will be deeply suprised:
First, you have to introduce yourself by singing your name and the position you have applied for. then, you get put into pairs and you have to dance to the tesco theme tune 'every little helps'. (it was actually really fun and bonding experience).
Then they put us all together and we had to exchange a piece of clothing with the person on the right of us. so make sure you bring a jacket and wear a bra ladies!
after this stage you are interviewed by the director of your chosen department. this is basic competency questions and general personal hygiene questions which are easy.
Then you are offered a chance to sleep with the director in order to gain the job, but this is a trick proposition as they want to see how keen you are, so kindly refuse the proposition.
At the end of the selection process, a trained monkey will present you with an envelope but be careful because sometimes it likes to play with it and hold on to it.
finally, On my first day at work, they were all really friendly and naughty. they put glass on my chair which pierced my skin, they locked me in the toilet for two hours as a break i guess, i was stuck in the lift with a fat man who had severe gas issues. and finally i was picked up by the managing director and thrown down the stairs and now i am in the hospital recovering after breaking both my legs and my face. they are so friendly so good luck guys
