I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Memphis, TN) in Sep 2016
Interview
Very detailed interview, uplifting and enthusiastic. I was put on the hot seat. However it was very natural. I met with two commercial sales managers and the commercial sales leader who asked me "if you were a title to a book, what would it be?" I thought it was brilliant! Had three interviews before I heard the good news. Took a couple weeks. However I understand why they interview the way they do. They only want the best candidates.
Easy and approachable. Didn’t ask too many questions. Asked about my previous education from school and college and other. Asked about my previous jobs that I worked in and my previous roles.
Group, selection then group interview was quick and efficient. A little daunting when you never done and interview like this. Same day did a one-on-one interview it was good way to ease into the one-on-one interview.
Niet meer dan een gesprek met twee managers waarin vragen werden gesteld, in dit gesprek werd duidelijke dat er een match was waarbij ik meteen aan werd genomen. De sfeer was erg aangenaam en niet te strak.
