Tesco jobs questions
When you get a application from tesco and fill it in and that, do you have to send a c.v with it? even if you just want to stack shelfs?
and when it ask for the job position on the app, if stacking shelfs is all you want to do.. what would you call that position?
and can you ask for a job there for just stacking shelfs?
thank you for helping

No don't bother with a C.V, just the form as it probably covers everything they need to know.
Its called a general assistant
In my store they have a noticeboard with all vacancies, you then get a form from customer services and this already has the title on it so you only apply for that specific job.
If you do get a job as a shelf stacker they may want you to do all sorts of other things, most related to your own department but they may also force you to learn how to work on the checkouts. I am a 'shelf stacker' but sometimes spend an entire shift not putting out stock.
How about applying online these are the positions they have under

Its consumer goods. I would go direct to the store personally. The store I work at has enough applications even when they don't have jobs...
Carefully consider what department you want to work on.. I work on Grocery - one of my tasks is throw away all the damaged stock - thats bad enough...but consider what throwing away fresh meat would be like... manky.
Obvious don't work on the dairy aisles if you don't want to be cold.
Working on the frozen dept is hardcore because you have to go into a freezer for long periods of time.
I would recommend the hardware/electrical aisles, they are usually small, don't really get messy and are generally easy to work on.
Other depts are - produce (fruit/veg), wines and spirits and the bread and cakes dept.
The grocery dept is the largest and covers lots of aisles (soft drinks, pet food, canned book, baking stuff, sauces, crisps, snacks etc) - certainly in my store its the area that is the busiest and has most work.
Go into the store and ask for a form, i work for tescos sadly all you do is the questionaire and thats it. Get the interiew then there we go.
As jojo72 said electrical/hardlines are the easiest. Grocery is pretty hard going on weekends. And weeknights cages can be a pain, so choose well.
Can always do checkouts but theyre pretty irritating

Becuase im going college again in september i wanted to work suitable hours and was thinking of doing 3days a week or so and doing the hours late afternoon. but then having (like a friday) nite shift.
Is that possible?, are they flexable like this?
do you get to pick the days and times or do you just take whats on offer?
thanks

I work Mon, Tues and Weds as well - 5-10.
When you apply for a specific job they should tell you the hours.
I find if you are willing to work Friday/ Saturday they will be more likely to take you as they are the busiest days.
Changing your hours depends on a lot of things, how many other staff there are and the times or 'business needs' as they call them..... it also MASSIVLEY depends on your manager wether or not they give you the hours you want.
For example, we recently got a new Grocery manager, he runs a much tighter ship with hours, but he created 5 new jobs for Fridays and Saturdays the first week he came - so he did help out in that respect!
I've work at Tesco PT for 5 years and have worked on 3 departments, all sorts of hours and have changed my working hours at least seperate times.. I have been contracted to work everday of the week at one time or another... I would avoid Fri and Sats tho as they are the busiest...

I don't know where your store is located but it seems as though your description of the Non Food / Hardline department is grossley inaccurate in comparison to our store. The department itself is usually littered with magazine inserts, cardboard PLUs, and you are actually required to have a rather indepth knowledge of a range of electrical and cosmetic appliances. From the differences between DVD +R and -R, to the benefits and advantages of a host of different television combinations and setups.
As far as applying for a position i would recommend applying at the store personally. The online process whilst is undoubtedly easier to complete for yourself it will take much longer to prosessed and actually sent to a appropriate store which you would be working at.
If you are looking at the best to apply then i would recommend at around August and September time. This is when those employees currently working will be heading off to leave at University. Which usually ends up in a mass exodus of the younger staff assigned to complete the graveyard, and evening shifts. Since the full time employees are usually contracted for more conventional 9-5 hours.

For myself in particular Tesco where very flexible with my academic regime. Since my manager was so impressed with my academic credentials (the first time my GCSEs have actually come in use!) that she allowed me to choose which department i wanted to work on, and the corresponding hours for that department. I ended up working 5-10 Friday and Saturday. Later on i managed to shift my hours around slightly so that i was working less on Friday, but, more on Saturday in order to allow for a better transition from College to Work on Fridays.
It does really depend upon the department and the current state it is in. If they have only one position available then you would be in a pretty difficult position to start bargaining for days and times. Checkouts are usually bursting with a revolving door of new and leaving staff, therefore their ability to work around your schedule will be much better than that of the shopfloor staff.
However if you don't feel like spending large amounts of time situated on one seat, and reciting the same jargon autonomously to each passing customer (Hello, Like any help with your packing, how are you, do you have a clubcard, like any cashback, like to enter your pin and check the amount please, theres your card and your receipt, thank you, goodbye, Hello, Like any help wit....), then checkouts arent really for you. For myself personally after spending stints on both the checkout and shopfloor departments i much rather prefer working on the shopfloor. You have much more control over what you do each shift, and generally there is actually more work to be done which can take your mind off the ever slowing clock

Sounds like you work in a large store?
I work in a pretty small one so checkouts are probably the best as you can have a laugh etc. Though some nights it is better to do shop floor so you get a break on time and such

The store is pretty large in comparison. I did a quick Store Locator at Tesco.com and you can read our inventory profile here. We have around 27 checkouts, so there really isnt that sense of an actual community that you could possibly get a smaller store. However when working on the sloopfloor at our store you have the opportunity to get trained on Checkouts, and therefore are able (when checkouts need you) to quickly pop down to checkouts and ease the ever growing crowds. Which can usually lead to a good mix between shopfloor and checkout work for those who cannot decide on a preference between the two.
Ah right, we have 28 checkouts but weeknights only about 10 are open.
In our store everyone has to be multiskilled on checkouts, which is easy as when im running the floor i can just grab anyone to put on tills,
though our store has a great sense of community and we all socialise with eachother alot. I actually quite like it there sometimes

michealbenson - my store is probably slightly larger than yours - we have 28 checkouts.
The whole magazine section of our non food is done by people who work from 6am.
If a student wanted to work at night, say 5-10, they would be dealing with electricals and stuff - they sell so slow that there is nowhere near as much stock to put out as there is on the grocery dept. Even in my store the non food sales have really taken off, so much so that they want to expand to a second floor of non food only.
So the non food does sell and make money but obviously not to the extent of the food aisles. I am fairly sure the non food dept only has 1 person on it in the evenings and the lazy cow is always walking around skiving (infact I did the same when I did overtime on there) - wheeras the grocery dept has up to 5 or 6 on busy days.
I was originally on checkouts, i HATE it when they call me down when its busy, which is almost everyday during the sumemr because we are always short staffed. Its worse when I have been doign heavy lifting and am knackered, I don;t really wanna be serving loads of customers.
