It took a few weeks to get an interview, there were about 15 of us and we were split into three groups and each group was place with an interviewer. We had to work together on a task that they gave us and our teamwork was judged using the partnership behaviours.
Then we had an individual task to complete,
We then had an individual interview each consisting of a few questions about ourselves and some other questions (I’ve listed them below) and we were asked to explain our choices and answers on the individual task.
The interviewers were all very friendly and respectful.
I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
I attended a group interview for a temporary Christmas position where we worked together on scenario-based tasks, discussing different approaches and demonstrating teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills throughout the process.

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.
