I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Leicester, England) in Jul 2014
Interview
After passing an online assessment (where you receive feedback fairly promptly), and completing the application form (which I took about 3 weeks to hear back from), I was offered a choice of times for an assessment centre, held in the offices of the Leicester Highcross store.
Although I had been primed for team-based tasks, in practice there was only one other person there on the day. After introductions, we had to complete a task where we had to match a product to a hypothetical customer, and then if I recall correctly we had to 'sell' a particular item.
This was followed by separate solo interviews, with the same person. These weren't really unique.
My memory is somewhat hazy, but I recall the entire assessment centre taking less than the 2 hours I was warned to allot.
During the process I recall there being one interviewer, with someone else there taking notes.
My interview date was July 1st, and it took until August 7th for me to hear back.
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
