After applying online, i received a phone call about a week later. The phone call was basically a mini interview asking me questions about IKEA and my flexibility etc. I was then invited to an assessment activity. I got there and i was placed in a group. We had to pick an object and re brand it and sell it to about 10 IKEA staff members as a group. We then had to come up with positives and negatives of customer service . Then we got a general run through of the company. We were then assigned a staff member and got taken to go and have a formal interview. The whole day took just under 2 hours. I got told i would be contacted within 10 days whether i was successful or not, however its been 10 days and ive heard nothing back!

It was an exclusive interview with people invited from two colleges. The number of applicants was over 25. We had basic introductions, a GD and an interview afterwards. My interviewers were polite though same was not the case for other people.
