I happen to be an employee of this great enterprise, I dunno if they use the same questions across the country but mine were stuff like 'What would you do if someone asked you where something was and you didn't know?'...common sense stuff really, nothing abstract. Just be friendly and stuff, where I work an interview generally means 'Welcome aboard' but I can't speak for every store but hopefully!
What answer did you give for that?
Thanks for the help.

Hello. I have my first ever job interview on Friday in Supervalu and I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what type of questions I'll be asked? I'm in 5th year with no previous experience, etc.
I just got a job in a Supervalu, and the interview seemed to be set questions so hooopefully this will help! I think getting the interview is the hard part though so don't be worried! Hope you see this in time, too!
The questions they asked me (from the top of my head) were -
- Tell me about your educational history
- Tell me about your work experience (only being in 5th year is a perfectly understandable reason not to have any work experience, but if you can think of something like 'I worked in the school tuck shop' it might sound a bit nicer than just saying 'nothing' :P
- Hobbies (that's a nice one Don't forget to mention C&H!! :P)
- What do you know about this particular Supervalu (I didn't really know anything so I just mentioned that there was a Dunnes and a Tesco nearby so it's really competitive... Maybe know owns it and if they own another Supervalu elsewhere or something!)
- How would you deal with a difficult customer - I think I said something about trying to facilitate them as best you can, and possibly being able to reach a compromise, although sometimes you can't give way (like someone trying to buy too much paracetamol or selling drink to someone young without ID), and that I'd try to solve it myself but if I can't I'd escalate it to the manager or whatever...
After that she just asked housekeeping stuff like when I'd be available to start (sooner the better, I guess), if I had holidays planned, if she could contact my referees, and so on - nothing that needs preparation!
Let us know how it goes

Thanks for the help, really appreciate that! Going down in a few hours.
Just one quick question if anyone sees this, not too important though. Should I wear a tracksuit pants and a t-shirt, which is how I would normally dress, or should I wear jeans and a t-shirt?0 -

Throw on the jeans I'd say And a tshirt or a casual shirt will do the trick 0 -

jeans and a shirt might go a little better. You dont want to give the wrong impression that you dont give 2 tosses about your job even if its only for the local shop.0
