I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Vaughan, ON) in Sept 2017
Interview
I applied online. It was my first ever interview, and it was very easy! We sat down and had a good conversation, he asked me questions about my resume and asked me easy questions. After the interview I asked for some feedback for future interviews and he said what he liked was a simple resume, and people who aren't as nervous and goes to ramble. He said I was very calm and I was able to make him laugh a lot. He grabbed another manager to ask me a question or two and he said he would check for a criminal record and then he'd call me the next week to sign the employment offer.
Easy friendly general questions nothing too taxing seemed to be very welcoming and kind hopefully hear back soon as really enjoyed learning about the company and they seemed to value their work
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

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
