Interview
Online application which involved various situational judgement tests - ensure that you are customer-driven and able to think independently. John Lewis pride themselves on being a partnership where every employee matters. You will be expected to use your initiative to make the right decisions.
After this, I was invited to an assessment day with about 20 other candidates. You will be asked to fill out a sheet and answer 4-5 situational questions. Then you will be given a scenario and, in groups of 3-4, have to discuss what you think the best course of actions. Make sure that you are confident and actively participate in the conversation as an assessor will be sat marking you on this.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2018
Interview
There was about 11 of us as it was a group assessment, we got split into mini groups of 3+. First of all they went straight into individiual 1 on 1 interviews where they basically asked every typical interview question, next they gave us a form to fill in or availability etc, and finally in our group we had a task to come up with answers on how to give someone the right advise for starting at John Lewis which was really basic, questions like give 3 examples on how to increase product knowledge etc
group interview and individual interview, standard competency questions and generally friendly atmosphere. essentially just looking for friendly and approachable personality. Whole process took less than 2 hours and no trial shift was involved.
