Was it online, if so did you continue after the point of entering previous employment history ?

I'm still curious to see this application form. I went through an hour on online tests dealing with maths to psychology for Weatherspoons only to get rejected a week later and gain a job in the NHS a day later!

I did look into applying for ASDA but don't remember this system, I don't think I got as far as applying. (This would have been four months ago).

there was no back button so I could not go back

I did an online application form for Asda, multiple times, all of them were unpleasant. I filled in the application form which included all the usual stuff, name, previous employment, equal opportunities, additional notes to support application etc.

Then the horror began, an English test, a Maths test and then a multiple choice scenario test about customers approaching you when you were told to get stock out quickly.

If I remember correctly some of the choices wereL
a) You ask the customer to find another member of staff as you are busy
b) You lead the customer to another member of staff and then return to your urgent stock replenishing task
c) You help the customer patiently with a smile and then return to your task and explain to your supervisor why it took so long
d) Some far fetched miracle

I would not wish these applications on my worst enemy. Sorry for the rant but I am still recovering from the traumatic experience.

There is no where for a supporting statement , or a CV or any details about any job at all

This is for an office job/accounts

I'm not sure if they have changed now or if the forms for office jobs was different than those for store jobs (which is what I was applying for) but I never had an option to add my CV. I did have the option for additional notes to support my application with I perceived to be the statement part.

Well I have no confirmation of the application as I guess it was just rejected before I got the assessment stage and I can apply again as it says I already have

AP007

So set up a new profile and applied again and regardless there is still no where to put any info about what I did at any job nor does it allow me to do the assessment

He is what shows up at the very end

Application process as indicated on their website (http://www.asda.jobs/stores/hourly-paid-roles-in-stores/application-process/) (bold italics are my emphasis)

Step three

When you've found a job that's right for you you can either save it in your 'job basket' and come back to it later or you can apply straight away. When you do apply you'll be guided through the process and just like a standard application form, this involves you telling us your details, your experience, a bit more about your interests and why you'd like to work with us. You'll then complete a verbal, a numerical and finally a personality test.
