I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Brighton, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
1. Online assessment quiz.
Invited for interview few days later.
Group interview with 4 other people. Then asked to tidy shelves on the sales floor. We were also asked to ask the current sales colleagues some questions about how it was to work in their department, and present our findings to each other.
It was very good and it was an easy process. I had to do a group task then go on shop floor then we had individual interviews. I didn't get it because I wasn't expanding on answers; I was nervous. Just be relaxed because it's easy.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Redditch, England) in May 2018
Interview
Was invited over email to an Asda Magic day. Started off slow, as I was stuck in a room with a bunch of people also waiting for it to start for about half an hour before we were actually told anything. Also those who did not have a form of right to work were turned away.
Once it began we were all taken into a room and sat around a table. We did a general icebreaker activity in which we had to ask the person we were sat next to what two items they'd take to the moon, why they like Asda etc. and report back. We then had an activity with the person we were next to and had to pick 4/6 promotions we would put in store for the summer based on the local area and why. We were then split in half and one half went for one on one interviews whilst the others were put into another group and had to do an activity with lego. We were shown a lego model of a bird-type animal which was then hidden. One person had to go up at a time to look at it, come back and describe how to build it without touching it. Throughout the entire group process you were being watched by 4-5 members of the management team who I assume were rating your performance.
They then got you all to fill out a flexibility questionnaire. Although I applied for specific jobs online, they treated you as unassigned and gave you the option to tick which specific jobs you'd be interested in, what your availability is and how many hours you are looking for.
The solo interview was quite informal but I think the questions asked depended on the interviewer as I had better questions than another girl I spoke to.
