I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Leicester, Inglaterra) in Feb 2025
Interview
Entirely group based, no one to one contact. Somewhat impersonal. Essentially an extension of the online assessment, it can feel a little informal in the moment, so the onus is on the participant to stand out with their answers in a room of 11 people.
The questions published online were unhelpful.

Question 1
Frustrated customers are waiting to pick up their parcels in a queue. There are not enough people on tills. Another customer comes up to you with a broken plate asking if there are any more in stock. What do you do?

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Quite swift! We were called for a group interview. Randomly, we were assigned a table. We met a few floor managers, and were asked a few scenarios. Best action is to let seniors speak first, then contribute your answers.

I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Chelmsford, Inglaterra)
Interview
I had a group interview and it was quite short and mainly focused on scenario type questions. It was only a small group of people, maybe about 6 of us. Basically, speak up but don't try to overly dominate the discussion, but also to make sure to get all your points out because firstly, if you don't then someone else will, and secondly, they can only judge you on what you have said.

Question 1
One of the questions was along the lines of: ' Leo is shopping in menswear, he has a few colleague parties at a new job and he wants to dress a mix of smart and casual....'
