Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso John Lewis & Partners (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di ago 2017
Colloquio
A very positive interview experience. First, a one to one session with an interviewer with some basic questions such as tell me about yourself, explain a situation where you've had to change your method of working, explain a situation where you've had to resolve a conflict with a colleague etc. This took around 15 minutes and was very relaxed - very friendly and enthusiastic interviewer.
The next was a group assessment where myself and two others had to come up with 5 ways to provide excellent customer service, 5 ways to deal with a complaint and 3 ways to expand knowledge on a products sold in store. During our discussion our interviewer watched and noted how we interacted with one another, without being involved in the process. This took around 15 more minutes with 5 minutes to feedback what we had come up with to our interviewer.
The whole process was very relaxed - all the interviewers were very friendly and welcoming. Between the one to one session and the group assessment we had a small break and we all chit chatted about TV shows and whatnot. It felt informal and was an excellent experience overall as I felt no pressure or nerves thanks to the atmosphere created by all involved.
My interviewer was very passionate and informative in all respects about the company and I felt welcomed by all there. Overall a very good impression and I look forward to starting soon!

I attended a group interview for a temporary Christmas position where we worked together on scenario-based tasks, discussing different approaches and demonstrating teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills throughout the process.

How would you handle a situation where there’s a long queue of customers, some becoming impatient, while you’re short-staffed during the Christmas rush?

It was a group interview where we had to read several scenarios, make individual notes, and then discuss possible solutions with the rest of the group. The assessed part was the group discussion, which was challenging because some of the other participants were very loud and overly confident. This made it difficult to share my points without feeling like I was interrupting or coming across as rude. There was also no one-to-one interview at the end, so my performance was judged entirely on how I interacted within the group.

Really easy. Done a group interview where they test you on your team work, then a solo interview to see your individuality. I then found out a week later if I got the job.
