I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Portland, OR) in Dec 2016
Interview
First, I received an email letting me know that I should prepare for a phone interview/screen. Second, the phone call consisted of a call center employee asking me scripted questions about previous employment experiences. Third, I had a one on one interview with the department manager with more scripted questions, but she was very friendly and personable. Fourth, an online background check and a lot of waiting. Fifth, a drug test then training begins.
