I applied online. I interviewed at ASDA (Hull, England) in Nov 2013
Interview
Applied online, which involved the usual questions and also uploaded a CV. Invited for group interview/assessment, which was followed by an individual interview on the same day. The group assessment involved team building activities, as well as watching general videos on ASDA as a company.
Was offered a different role to the one I originally applied for, however the new role was permanent, so was better.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you have gone over and above to give great customer service.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Great Barr, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
Apply online with a lot of questions (easy), received email to attend a Magic Event. Remember your right to work documents because one person didn't have theirs and they had to go home! Sat down in a room, quickly introduced to observers, did activities in pairs.
First activity icebreaker: turn to your partner, introduce ur name and age, why want to work at Asda, if you won the lottery etc. You could make notes then went round as a group (19 people were invited to come but only 12 did) had to introduce ur partner to the group.
Next was some videos about Asda whilst observers went outside to talk about what they saw.
Then, activity with a bag - had to pick an item out of the bag w/o looking, partner picked a card to be a customer - I got some teething stuff and my partner was a grandad which I had to sell it to! Had 5 minutes to practice, then perform to group. Quite enjoyable & funny.
Then had a break.
After split into groups and took in turns to have a 1-1 interview (easy), Have a go (basically asking customers if they want u to help pack their bags & quick tour) and admin task (availability & checking of documents).
Overall fun, didn't get the job due to flexibility since I'm still a student. People who were successful would attend an induction / Best Welcome the following Tuesday (interview was on Thursday)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Liverpool, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Small group. Introduction, group activity which involved a role play in selling something and also getting to know the person sat beside you , short 1 to 1 interview where they discussed HR details and just a couple of personality questions. Nothing difficult, all very relaxed. Interviewers were all friendly and approachable
