I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Manchester, England) in Sep 2024
Interview
It was great. We got invited to the staff area in John Lewis which was massive. This was for the Xmas Temp role. We did a group assessment in a room with 9 other people at least. We split into two groups of 4 or 5, and we had been set a task on how to approach a certain customer situation. We had to talk loud and clear for the assessors to hear us clearly and assess you on company values. My advice is, revise the values and apply it to the things you talk about, that will make you stand out as I was the ONLY one in my group that talked about the values. The assesors were really nice and warm, and I could kind of tell they were happy with my performance after I got smiles as I left the room. Even though it is a temp role, hopefully it can progress to a permanent position :) 2 days after I got an email saying I had passed the group interview with a job offer. Best of luck in your interview/group assessment. :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach the busy sales in the Christmas periods?
It was a group interview for a temporary role over the busy winter period. We were put in groups of about 7 and did marketing and customer service activities. We were asked to come up with a marketing strategy for a winter product in our groups and present it to everyone. Next, they had people come around to our tables and discuss what customer service meant for us.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Southampton, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was great. The people were very friendly. You have to show your passion and motivation. Figuring out the company's background and culture is crucial. It's better to highlight your relevant experience and skills in customer service, teamwork, and sales
