Sainsburys Interview

I have a sainsburys interview tomorrow:eek:, when I organised the time, I was told that the following will happen in the interview: attention to detail, simple numerical skills and watching a DVD.
From what I have googled, it doesn't seem that hard! Would be good if I could get someones experience to see what happens and what I should prepare for. Thanks:money:

    Well it sounds like it will be a group interview?
    So long as you are conscious of the people around you, you should be fine.
    In my experience, the people who are playing up to the interviewers (managers) as oppose to the other interviewees, won't get the job.
    So interact with your potential future colleges the best you can.
  • well it was a 1-1 interview, went well in my opinion and was very very easy. You get 3 tests, simple maths (like adding), attention to detail and then questions like why do you want to work for sainsburys. Nothing to worry about really.
