I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2016
Interview
Group interview, followed by worksheets and personal interview. Asked to sell a product, estimate price and highlight benefits.
Interviews tend to be values based rather than focusing on having lots of experience. I had no previous sales experience.
