Interview
I apply the sales assistance role online. Few days later will received video record interview. It will have few questions need to answer with limited time. But I have not pass it.
Quite lengthy and a bit drawn out for a part-time position. They require a video interview where you answer three questions: one general question and two situational questions, although I'm aware the questions may differ for others. Then if you pass that there's a in person interview. I understand Ikea strongly believe in hiring staff that blend in perfectly with their principles and values, but I think two sets of interviews to do so for 24 hours a week as a part timer is a bit much.
Si è trattato di un colloquio virtuale svolto attraverso un tool online con la videoregistrazione delle risposte, le quali in seguito sono state valutate dal team risorse umane. Per ogni domanda c’erano due tentativi, poi bisognava inviare la registrazione

Interview
I recently went through the interview process with IKEA in New Zealand. I relocated from Europe, I know the product range well, have sales experience, and have assembled many IKEA furniture pieces throughout my life.
The process included an initial online screening and an on-site group interview.
The group interview started with the manager asking who had ever been to an IKEA store, only about five people raised their hands. We were then shown a presentation, but the manager mixed up the store opening date, didn't finish it, and couldn’t recall all the company values. This created a somewhat disorganised impression.
The group exercise also felt unusual, as it didn’t really fit a group format; it was more individual, with almost nothing to discuss collectively.
At the end, each of us had a short one-on-one interview. We were told in advance that they had only 15 minutes per person. The manager interrupted me several times and seemed to be in a hurry, which made the experience more stressful.
