I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners in Oct 2024

Standard process overall was a group exercise which ultimately involved discussion amongst a table and there was hiring managers listening in to ideas (Final stage at Stratford Westfield branch )

I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Liverpool, Inglaterra)
Interview
Had to talk about some scenarios as group, while people listened to what we were saying, for me there was 5 different scenarios, most were quite obvious about things your had to say. I think you have to be quite vocal, and say a lot of things to get the job.
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.

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....'
