I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at John Lewis & Partners (Leicester, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online and passed the online questions so got an email for an interview the following week. There was 12 of us, mostly people aged 17- 21. Split into 3 groups with an employer on each table. Did a group task where we had to put a task list in order of importance. Then had an individual task which we had to present to the employer at the end. Was easy.
Very interactive, mix of group work and individual questions to give everyone an opportunity to showcase their skills.
Total length about an hour, with lots of hands on involvement from hiring managers

Question 1
A customer has this issue (example), how should it be resolved?
Group interview, a series of task you need to read through and determine the best course of action. No one to one interview which means you really have to stand out when talking in the group.
