I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Zürich) in Mar 2021
Interview
Mehrere Runden Vorstellungsgespräch. Erst mit Recruiter, danach mit den eventuell zukünftigen Vorgesetzten. Angenehme Gespräche mit Fragestellungen zum Beruf und zur Person. Pro Vorstellungsgespräch etwa 30 Minuten bis 1 Stunde.
Kontaktaufnahme für erstes Gespräch war schnell, jedoch zieht sich der Prozess in die Länge da so viele Runden mit Bewerbungsgesprächen angesetzt werden. Auch Schnuppern ist gängig um einander kennen zu lernen.
