Applied online. Completed an online assessment with multiple choice type answers which is mostly customer service based questions . Received an email a few days later inviting me to an Asda Magic group interview. This was a very relaxed and fun event which lasted around 1 hour. This event was observed by 4 Asda managers who made notes about each person, (remember to keep smiling and have fun... That's very important to this session). The first task was to interview the person next to you for about 10 minutes and then introduce the person to the group. Pens and paper are available for you to take notes.
The second task was to sell an item to the groups and managers. We were split into teams of three for this. These items were given out randomly to the teams, and were all things you would find in the grocery section for example, honey, mayonnaise, chick peas etc. The teams found factual and fun ways to sell each item.
After this you are given a form to fill in with the chosen department and your shift availability. We were then told about the store and what you could expect working for asda including benefits and discount schemes etc.
We were thanked for attending and told we should hear something with two weeks as there were more Asda Magic sessions scheduled until then .
10 days later i received a phone call inviting me to attend a one to one interview with one of the department managers.
This was a very relaxed interview with just a few basic customer service based questions and a general chat and get to know you. This lasted around 20 minutes and I was told that another Asda Magic session was scheduled and that I would hear back after that had been completed which would be in around 8 days. Job offer received after 7 days
