I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Leeds, England)
Interview
I applied and was invited to attend a group assessment morning. I was there for 2 hrs. There were 6 tables full of 6 to 8 people. Once there we asked to talk about ourselves. Then we had to describe our favourite item and why but no phones or tablets allowed.
Then each table were given a list of two customers and what they wanted along with a booklet of furniture we had. We had to look at the requirements of 2 customers and work out which product was best (None of the products were perfect match) within a time limit and then sell it to the person assessing us at the table. We were also given lots of information about john lewis.
