I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Cardiff, Wales) in Oct 2024
Interview
Big group interview, followed by a one to one fast paced timed (5 min) interview. In the group interview, asked to come up with ideas for a charity event. The one to one consists of a few set questions you are asked and your answers recorded, there's no discussion and it is timed so feels quite intense.
