I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Bristol, Inglaterra) in Feb 2017
Interview
The online process was the toughest part of all of it- once you're through that it was pretty easy... went for an interview had a 10 minute one to one and then got put in a group of three (there were 14 of us in total) - all we had to do was write out a handout for three different questions then tell our assessor in more depth!

Question 1
How would you handle a situation where there’s a long queue of customers, some becoming impatient, while you’re short-staffed during the Christmas rush?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Cardiff, Gales) in Oct 2025
Interview
It was a group interview where we had to read several scenarios, make individual notes, and then discuss possible solutions with the rest of the group. The assessed part was the group discussion, which was challenging because some of the other participants were very loud and overly confident. This made it difficult to share my points without feeling like I was interrupting or coming across as rude. There was also no one-to-one interview at the end, so my performance was judged entirely on how I interacted within the group.
Really easy. Done a group interview where they test you on your team work, then a solo interview to see your individuality. I then found out a week later if I got the job.
