John Lewis & Partners interview questions

Apply on their website. Do a 30minute scenario online test. The actual interview is split into 2 stages. The first is a group task where you will have 4 scenarios that you have 5minutes to make notes on and then discuss in your group. You don’t need specific John Lewis knowledge it’s more so just general knowledge. The scenarios where for example “a women came to the store looking to get a gift for a friend who’s moving to a different county” in this scenario the most important part is asking about the budget she had available. There was another scenario of a guy looking to get a toy for his nephew who likes construction and painting at school. In the 2nd stage it’s a 1-1 interview.

Good. The questions can be annoying that they focus on certain types of people I feel. Also, the process around recruitment is long winded which does not help retention much.
