Our tips for applying
5 recommandations générées par notre IA pour maximiser vos chances.
⭐ Lead your CV with your valid UK driving licence details (full/automatic, years held, penalty points) as this is the single non-negotiable requirement stated in the advert.
📊 Quantify your delivery experience: e.g. 'Completed 25+ customer doorstep deliveries per shift with a 98% on-time rate' to demonstrate time slot discipline Tesco explicitly requires.
🌐 Highlight any experience handling substitutions, refunds or order queries at the doorstep — the advert specifically calls this out as a key responsibility.
🎯 Mention vehicle safety checks or pre-drive inspection experience (e.g. daily walkaround checks) to show you understand roadworthy compliance, referenced directly in the role duties.
🤝 Include a brief example of independent working with team support — the advert stresses working alone on the road while liaising with a base team, so demonstrating both traits strengthens your application.
