I applied online. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Sep 2024
Interview
It was a group interview with a scenario we had to work together on. It was a bit excruciating at times but I thought I contributed well and listened to the other candidates carefully. However, I was informed I had not been successful before I even got home! I asked for feedback but was told there were too many applicants for the company to have time to provide feedback. I was told I have been added to the Silver Medallist candidate bank. I’d really like to know why I was rejected as this would really help me move forward with my job hunting.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you entice customers to a Christmas event? What strategies need to be in place to promote best selling toy, latest kitchen gadget? and something else I can’t recall.
I was informed that I had not been successful before I even got home so I must have been way off the mark. They have lots more applicants to interview and will be taking lots of them on because it’s a Christmas temp role.
During the interview, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves. The questions were insightful, making me think on my feet. The interviewer was friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Overall, a valuable experience!
