I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners in Oct 2020
Interview
Online forms to fill out, received an email fairly quickly saying I had passed that and was invited to a group interview. There were 5 other people there, split into two groups and given 5 scenarios to read and discuss whilst employees watched us and took notes. Then was a 10 ish minute 1:1 interview, just discussed myself and what experience I had that was good for the job. Only 4 questions and I was there for just over an hour

Pretty relaxed, dress smart to make a good impression. Just be yourself and you will end up doing well. Be as involved sa you can to shine in the group
It was a group interview, split into around 4 people per table, where we had a scenario and had to answer questions. It was a scenario relating to the store at the Christmas period.
