I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at IKEA (Tampa, FL) in Nov 2017
Interview
I went to a job fair which was surprisingly organized. Got a call back 2 weeks later were i was offered a position and was told to check my email and set up a drug screen in the link they provided me with. I was given 48hrs to do so.I went to a Quest Diagnostics and did a urine drug screen . I start next week!
Two interviews: one with HR to check if your values align with theirs, and a second one with the hiring manager. Both included typical interview questions, but the one with the hiring manager asked more questions on how you are at work and whether you fit the criteria of what they're looking for.
