I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Hartlepool, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
You have to do a long online questionnaire thing then go to 'Asda Magic' which is a group interview. You get put in a room with a few other people and get put in teams to do various tasks - I had to come up with a way to make the store become more parent/ baby friendly. You then each have to do an individual interview (in the staff cafeteria at the same table people were having their lunch which was a little off putting). Following this, you go onto the shop floor with a checklist of things you have to find then do 15-20 minutes of work (I wasnt allowed to do this as they said they didnt have time for me to) but still got the job? And then thats it basically.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ASDA (Carlisle, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
After applying online I was invited to an Asda Life session which took place a few days later. Eight of us were scheduled to attend but only four did. We were introduced to each other and three members of staff who stayed with us for the session. The session involved listening to the staff talk about themselves and their time working at Asda, learning about the different departments you can work for, a tour of the store, some time working in the store like facing shelves and shadowing people working on the checkout etc. At the end we all went back to the room we had been occupying, each of us spoke about our recent work/school histories and hobbies etc then we were told they would get back to us soon and we were allowed to leave. I found the process to be really chill and not intimidating, the staff took notes but you didn't feel like you were under constant surveillance, and I heard back the same day.
