Interview
The whole process for me at least took almost 2 weeks. I applied, received an email for a phone interview and then proceeded to the in store interview. After the in store interview I waited and 3 days later I got a job offer. After that I completed emails they send me including background check and took the drug test. You have to pass the background and drug test otherwise you cannot get the job. I was sent an email like 3 days later saying I got hired and welcome to IKEA.
P.s. : I would suggest to look at everybody's questions on here. They helped me very much.

Interview
collocuio molto informale avvento un giorno dopo la mia application. L'ambiente è molto collocuiale e informale. Mi ha intervistata il manager, è durato poco, circa 20 minuti. Sono stata messa a mio agio dal reclutatore che mi ha spiegato in cosa consisteva il lavoro le mansione e le apsettative legate al ruolo. Poi è partito il collocuio vero e proprio con domande.
