John Lewis Group Assesment Outcome

I had a group interview for John Lewis on Wednesday, we were assessed on the values of John Lewis. We had a customer situational task where we had to sit in groups of 4. We had to discuss ideas in how to promote the products, and we were assessed on how to approach the upcoming Christmas sales etc. Btw this is a Christmas temp position. We were 10 people in total. Not sure how many got the job, but I got an email today with a job offer. Anyone need help or anything please feel free to drop your questions. Also anyone who also has been offered a job also participate in peoples question.

Hi, I’ve got the exact same interview tomorrow. Could you tell me how the interview was like as it’s a group interview, and what sort of questions they ask you etc. Would be much appreciated.

Thanks

it was really just a group activity and they give you a scenario of christmas time and you have to figure out how to showcase 3 top selling items, pretty easy just speak what comes into mind and be involved in the group. honestly i did no preparation and i still got the job maybe the simplest interview i’ve had so far. good luck 😄

Hi, I have the same interview this week. Was the group session the whole interview, or was there also a regular one on one interview?

I did it last year and the group interview was the first section. Then individual interviews was the second. They just asked normal interview questions and availability.

Was that for a Christmas temp job? The email I’ve been sent says the whole thing is only 45 minutes.

Just in case someone else sees this, I had mine today and it was only a group assessment. I suppose they must have changed the format since last year.
