Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with evidence of how you deliver great service and greet customers with a smile. If you’ve done holiday or part-time customer-facing work, put that experience front and center so the hiring team sees your service mindset right away.

Give concrete examples during interviews of how you’ve built rapport with customers, left a positive impression, and handled situations that required initiative. Describe times you made decisions on behalf of customers and the outcomes you achieved for them and for the team.

Prepare for questions about shifts and flexibility. You’ll discuss varied hours and late-night work, including the midnight to 6am window where there’s a night premium. Be ready to talk about how you’d stay reliable and energized across different shifts.

End with a smart question of your own that ties to this role, such as asking how many hours are typically allocated on a weekly basis during the peak festive period, and whether there are opportunities to work across other Tesco departments if needed.
