I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Warrington, North West England, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
Asked to complete 2 projects pre interview, given 2 weeks for this. attended first interview standard interview questions (about 30 questions!) with a few design based questions like what is the most important room in a house. Then asked to present projects to the 2 interviewers. The second interview was with a senior manager of the interior design team. Again another lot of standard interview questions and presenting projects and own design portfolio. They asked a lot of questions mostly standard interview questions such as why you want to work here, tell me about yourself etc. I asked a lot of questions about the role too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
why you want to work here, tell me about yourself, what can you bring to the role. who is your role model, favourite room in your house and why, some situation questions like have you ever disagreed with someone above you and what was outcome
Chiamata online con il responsabile che mi ha illustrato il ruolo e ha chiesto il mio interesse per il ruolo. Disponibili e molto gentili. Mi è stato illustrata la paga, l'orario lavorativo, il servizio mensa e benefit aziendale.
L’expérience a été enrichissante, mais aussi très exigeante :
Entretien téléphonique avec le responsable RH
Test de design à réaliser
Entretien avec le manager du département design
Entretien en ligne avec le responsable international
Et enfin, un workshop test sur place
Après toutes ces étapes, ma candidature n’a pas été retenue.
