I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Sydney)
Interview
It's a 2 weeks process for me. After I applied online, they gave me a get-to-know-you form. 3 days after, the HR call for a phone interview. Next, I received an email invitation for group assessment. The activities we had was fun and brief discussion about IKEA's background, values, products, services and employees. We were then told that we will receive a phone call from them for the outcome. Fortunately, I received a call from them that I made it to the next process which is the second interview with two interviewers. I was a bit nervous but they were really nice people. 4 days after, HR called me to pet me know that My application was successful and I made it throught the whole selection process.
I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Rockwall, TX) in May 2026
Interview
It was easy, but felt rushed. The call lasted 6 minutes, and I barely got to speak, I wasn’t questioned or even asked about my previous experience. It just seemed like they had already chosen another candidate and sped through the rest of the interviews.
Not a question; but recipient said that the position “includes a bit of everything.” Food preparation, inventory, stocking, ect are all part of the job.
Really pleasant experience, very chill questions and interview process. I got the call to do an interview while I was on holiday, so I asked if I could do it online which wasn’t a problem at all.

Fuimos a la zona de restauracion. La entrevista consistió en una serie de preguntas rápidas. Fue bastante relajado (creo que el entrevistador se dio cuenta de que era mi primera entrevista de trabajo).
