I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose
Interview
The interview was simple and focused on answering questions about the john lewis partnership as a whole and focusing on the values of the business. This was then followed up by questions around the things which you do in your spare times
Online test had to be completed first, which consisted of different situational questions. This needed to be passed in order to proceed to the interview stage.
The interview stage was just one single interview, fairly simple interview questions were asked.
