I applied online. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Southampton, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
Simple (for X’mas temp)! A group interview, where they ask you to make up a plan for a made up event. What would you do, what food and drinks would you serve, what activities would you have going on, how can you target different age groups. Then they give you ten minutes to answer a question about customer service.

Easy going, group interview was more of a social interview to see how each other would respond to different scenarios and how best to deal with different proposals and real life situations. Full time role in Southampton West Quay Store.
