John Lewis & Partners interview questions

Swift and easy. Direct, careful not to over share. Try and be yourself. If called for an interview you are mostly likely already chosen and are just being screened for interview purposes.

Application, then call with HR, then video interview with two senior finance leaders, then assessment centre in London if you pass all previous parts. Pretty standard when compared to other companies. Job advertised as 80% working, 20% studying, however they expect you to work 5 days a week and then study at the weekend. Pitiful compared to other companies so I would not recommend applying for this role. Interviewer was rude too when I mentioned that I thought one day during the week would be for studying. "You do reaslise this is a full-time job?" He asked me this three times throughout the interview. Well... obviously, but it is also an apprenticeship, and as such, there should be dedicated studying time like all the competitors offer. Competitive salary, reasonable perks, but I guess there is a reason they've lost hundreds of millions of £ over the past few years.
