I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2012
Interview
Had a chat with HR representative and Store Manager, sat in an office in the back of the store and was asked a few interview questions. Pretty straight forward for the most part, describe yourself, what makes you a good person for the job? Are you in college? When are you available to work? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Would you be willing to do other jobs?

Question 1
What qualities do you have that make you the best candidate for the job?
I applied for a shop assistant role at Tesco online, filling in my details and availability. After a few days, I was invited to an interview, which took place in-store. The interviewer asked me questions about customer service, teamwork, and how I would handle busy situations or difficult customers. I gave examples from my past experiences to show my communication skills and reliability. The interview felt relaxed and conversational rather than formal. I was also asked about my flexibility with shifts. Overall, the process was straightforward, and I heard back within about a week with the outcome.
First call with employer then an in person interview where they asked you a few questions about previous experience, your key professional qualities and what you can bring to the role.

Question 1
What previous experience could help you in this role?
Applied through an online agency - I had to complete a form which then got submitted to the company. This led to arranging a Telephone interview call with me. Relatively straight forward with the usual type of questions.
