I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ASDA (Fulwood, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
Fairly easy interview. Especially good for newbies.
Applied about 2 weeks ago. I had to attend the Asda Magic assessment day yesterday. They also interviewed yesterday as well.
Firstly, we went into a room and there were 9 of us for the day. The room included 4 observers which are exactly what you think.
The staff introduced themselves and then we were put into groups of 2/3 and had to discuss bits about you with your partner. You then had to present your partner to the group.
The followed with a short vt about asda.
We then we're put into groups again for a group exercise. We had to build something out of marshmallows and spaghetti and then present it to the group.
After this we 'had a go' at the type of work you'd do.
This then followed with a fairly informal interview.
There is a strong emphasis on team work and communication throughout.
One thing that did disappoint me was that we were given a piece of paper which outlined what happens after the interview. In a nutshell it sais you'd receive one of 3 emails. The first being you were successful, the second you were a silver medallist and lastly you were a Magic Reject (unsuccessful). I think it's really harsh to call someone a reject who may have been working for years to try and get a job. A company who States they have high regard for its employees should not question a persons worth. Ever!
Straightforward interview process minimal hassle. Friendly interviewers with helpful insights into onbaording queries. General questions about previous experience, start date and work pattern preferences. There is room for asking and questions at the end would recommend clarifying your role and what was said in interviews previously. Only one round
Apply online, wait a while with no confirmation, get called for a (very brief) phone discussion and be asked to come in within the week for an in-person interview. At the in-person interview have no actual questions asked of you, just provide right to work documents. One day get asked to come in for induction the next morning. Get asked to do first shift the next night.
Very unorganised system
Asked to start job before receiving your job offer
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at ASDA (Ipswich, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was over the phone, it was a casual chat. No major in depth questions asked really. It was very quick, straightforward call. No awkward interview questions asked. Very easy interview.
