ASDA interview questions

Applied online and completed a customer service questionnaire. Got an email to inviting me to an Asda Magic session. 12 people attended and we were split into 2 groups for various tasks. Good fun! Onto the shop floor to look at how the Autumn goods were presented. Got a call next day to invite me in store for a Have a go Session and a 121 interview with the section leader.

So-called magic assessment was nothing of the sort. The Asda magic was never explained because it doesn't exist. The interview was informal and included visiting the shop floor to have a go at facing up and clearing rubbish (even though it wasn't the job applied for). The offer wasn't made for over 2 weeks, even though I was told at interview I had got the job. Apparently, when staff take holidays in HR dep't, they don't delegate to ensure candidates aren't left hanging about. This was Farnworth, Bolton Store. I declined the offer in part because of terrible reviews on glassdoor, but also because of their poor recruitment process. The HR dep seem to have got themselves an easy way of getting paid for doing almost nothing. Many been there 15, 20 years or more and have obviously got far too cosy.Totally unprofessional.
