I applied online. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners in Oct 2019
Interview
Group interview, slit into tables of around 8 people. Before you start, the people interviewing are watching you so make sure you are chatty and introduce yourself to the others on your table. Given different scenarios which we had to discuss and prioritise tasks.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Cheadle Hulme, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
The questions online were very difficult and took hours to complete. The group interview was also intimidating as everyone was mostly over 30, and as I was under 20, I was at a disadvantage as everyone was very competitive and had a lot of experience. Found it hard to speak myself as I would be spoken over
