John Lewis & Partners interview questions

3 applicants were interviewed in the same sitting by personnel manager and the sales floor manager. Very low key and informal. Free to express yourself and pose questions. All candidates were asked to contribute towards a typical retail scenario where deliveries were to be made to various destinations in the face of bad weather, staff shortages etc. Whole process lasted about one hour thereafter candidates interviewed individually on a one to one basis.

I had to do a presentation on current visual merchandising trends. I found the interviewers really friendly and welcoming, the type of people you'd like to work with. The whole process takes a while as the HQ takes it time to review your offer and everything is based on online communication.
