Interview
Group discussion consisting of myself and 3 other candidates. Mostly discussing scenario based questions e.g. how to help a customer buy a gift for their friend. Lasted about 10 mins. Then followed by a 15 minute written assessment consisting of similar scenario based questions. There wasn't a formal one-to-one interview at any point.

Question 1
Scenario based: Should I buy my parents a joint Christmas gift or give them individual ones?
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
