I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Oak Creek, WI) in May 2019
Interview
I attended a seasonal hiring event. The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The interview itself lasted about 15 minutes, and I head back from IKEA about two weeks later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is an example of a difficult situation you were in and how did you resolve it?
The interview process involved one over-the-phone interview and one in person. The interviews asked relevant questions related to working in a fast-paced retail environment. One question I remember being asked is "What is one time that you did something without a manager's approval and how did it turn out?"

I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was fast, fun, and very friendly! The interview made me feel very relaxed, and she was knowledgeable and informative about Ikea. I was made to feel welcome, like she was glad I was there, which , in turn, made me very happy to have gone for the interview. I was nervous about going because I have been out of the workforce for quite some time, so wasn't sure what to expect. She put me right at ease.
