After taking various online tests I was invited to a group interview. The interview process was very enjoyable and relaxed! All the partners were very friendly and professional! There was around 20 Applicants and we all were split into groups to work on a team task and then followed by an individual task. Each table had an allocated assessor to watch and score us on our performance. The team task included ranking a set of scenarios in a list of what we would prioritise first to last and talking about the risks and jobs involved to do this. After this there was a written individual task with more scenario questions to answer. I had never been to a group interview and was very nervous it would be very difficult but in actual fact it was great! Everyone at John Lewis are very polite and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have and you don't feel pressured! The main thing to focus on is working is a team and getting involved!! By far the best interview experience I have ever had.

This was for the Christmas temporary role at Stratford. There was a group assessment. We had to come up with activities and events to hold in store for Christmas, food and drinks to hand out, products to display at the front of the store and explain why. It also mentioned something about trends. They were not standard customer scenarios. Then, we were told to write our availability. The assessment took approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes long.
