      Cashier Interview

      28 Feb 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IKEA in Nov 2009

      Interview

      Phone interview --> Department Manager Interview --> Immediate Manager Interview Those are the three interview steps that I went through. Be prepared to answer different scenario questions. Phone interview = Many different scenario questions, as well as "why IKEA" etc. The interviews with the different managers are mainly to get to know what type of person you are and if you'd be able to fit in with everyone else.

      Question 1

      Describe a time where you dealt with a unhappy customer. How did you handle it?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IKEA

      Interview

      When explaining the IKEA cashier interview process, I would say that it generally starts with an online application, followed by a brief phone or virtual screening. If successful, candidates are usually invited to either a group interview or a one-on-one meeting with a hiring manager. During the interview, they often ask situational and customer-service related questions, like how you would handle a busy shift or deal with a difficult customer. They also focus on teamwork and IKEA’s values, so it helps to reference how your past experiences match their culture. Interviews are normally friendly, not too difficult, and candidates often hear back within a week if they move on to the job offer or background check stage

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One of the questions they asked me was ‘How would you handle a situation where a customer is frustrated or upset?’ I answered by explaining that I would stay calm, listen to their concern, apologize if needed, and try to find a solution or ask a supervisor for help if I couldn’t resolve it myself. I also mentioned that good customer service involves patience and staying positive even when the store gets busy
