Ikea interview experience

Interview experience 1:

20xx arrived at Gloria Hotel in North Station at 4: 20pm on September 16. Well, I haven't paid attention to travel for a long time. I can't believe I wrote down the location of Times Square Hotel as Gloria Hotel. I didn't get off the bus until 4: 20, but I got off at the wrong place and was caught off guard. I thought? Forget it. I'm ambivalent anyway. I'm not sure if I really want to leave my current circle and enter the retail circle. I'll try my best to give me an interview and forget it if I don't pass the exam. . Panting, I went to Gloria Hotel and got on the elevator. When I pressed the button on the fifth floor, it didn't light up. As a result, a person who looks like a hotel manager in the elevator told me that the fifth floor was decorated and asked me where to go. I'm a little confused. With my super memory, I shouldn't make a mistake about the floor. Conference room? I said,? Is that the third floor? I can't say anything. The third floor is here. Forget it. Let's go in. Fortunately, I got off the elevator, entered a big conference room and saw the recruitment sign of IKEA. As soon as I opened the door, a lady told me that the position I applied for was on the 2 1 floor. I feel dizzy. I got on the elevator again, hehe, the elevator went smoothly. Arrive at the 2 1 building, turn right, find a service person and find the final place for the interview. Well, I just left the company and missed the first bus, thinking? It's over. This is not a good day. The result was really 50% cashed.

Let me sign the door and wait. Not as full as I expected. Forget it, wait. There is an IKEA brochure on the desk. After turning over a few pages, I feel that there are many cheap and beautiful things. I remember very clearly that there was a loveseat, which was only 199. Once again, my super memory will never be wrong. Well, super is super. During the interview, the director of the logistics department actually asked me if there was anything that made me shine through the brochure. I'm not so sure about the price I remember, and finally I don't know if I made a mistake or the director teased me. He said that IKEA didn't sell 199 yuan's sofa. Forget it, don't think about him.

I interviewed two people, one is the head of the logistics department and the other is the human resources department of IKEA Beijing. The logistics supervisor asked me to introduce myself briefly, and then asked me some questions about my main job, which was of course related to the position I finally interviewed. The first few are ok, and I think I can answer them, which makes him very satisfied. Later, I still feel a little sorry about one question, because I know those things, but I can't express them well (it seems that language expression is really a kung fu), because my usual work doesn't involve those things that are managed only by theory. When a strategist speaks according to his own experience, he always puts subjective consciousness first, which is a big taboo. Well, it's still too young!

Later, a lady from Beijing Human Resources Department gave me a question. Wow, that question is called more than one. I thought that when I interviewed KFC trainee assistant in Parkson, I was well prepared, and it would not be a problem to go through five customs and cut six. I went in such a hurry this time that I didn't prepare anything at all, so I went into battle lightly. Just ask me? What is the most frustrating thing you encounter after work, and what best embodies team spirit? My answers to these two questions are vague and not very successful.

Summarize the overall feeling of IKEA interview, which one is it? See the needle? I don't think it means that you can answer well if you are well prepared. Of course, if you are well prepared, you can answer the most basic interview questions well, but the most important thing is to examine your adaptability and your understanding of the work. I can have at least forty minutes for this interview, and your brain cells are spinning for forty minutes.

Comrades, from now on, you should take 180 to think about the problem. Before you say every sentence, you should think clearly about the good and bad results that you may bring after you finish this sentence (wow, I'm so tired) and ask yourself more why. You can't limit your work to the surface, you should do it thoroughly and learn it well. Well, after the interview, I feel how naive and naive I am, which is the most depressing thing for me.

Success or failure, I am still not ready. At present, I am a little degenerate, and my spirit seems to be greatly reduced. However, people have their own pursuits when they are alive. It seems that opportunities have given me a lot, but I still seem to be very happy and depressed in Henghao.

It is said that opportunities are for those who are prepared. Am I ready? What about you?

Interview experience 2:

Speaking of IKEA, I think everyone will be familiar with it. A well-known household enterprise in Sweden; One of the top 500 in the world; In 2006, Businessweek was one of the top brands in the world 100; China Xiaozi No.1 Home Brand. I still remember when IKEA opened in Guangzhou, many Shenzhen people drove for two hours to buy household items. For these reasons, I am very much looking forward to an interview at IKEA.

Throughout the interview, what impressed me most about IKEA was its humanity. There will be a short telephone interview before the formal interview at IKEA. The content is your personal understanding and several English conversations. If you pass, make an appointment for the first round of interview.

Shenzhen IKEA is divided into two parts: IKEA trade and IKEA shopping mall. The company's office is located on the 6th floor of China Merchants Building, Shekou, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. I have an interview at 1 1-12. The interviewer is a gentleman in the personnel department. Friendly and polite as always. However, this interview is very different from my previous interview. This interview didn't ask me anything about my education, English level, or my job. It's just easy to talk to you about yourself. At first, I was really a little unaccustomed.

After I introduced myself, this gentleman asked me to continue talking about myself. I told him frankly that I didn't know what to say myself. I seldom talk about myself. Or I'll talk about my job. He said with a smile, we have a chance to talk after work. Just talk about your usual life and hobbies. I introduced my usual life and hobbies. He was very interested when he heard that I volunteered on weekends. He asked me carefully about the situation of voluntary service, the time of service, the specific target of service, and some of my feelings and thoughts.

Next, I was asked to talk about some of my personality characteristics. Your own strengths, your own weaknesses, describe yourself in three words, and so on. Then, it is a discussion about your work likes and life goals. He will ask you what kind of life you like and what plans and ideas you have for the future. Will ask what kind of working environment you like. What did you dislike least about your last job? I didn't think about what I didn't like in my previous job. I thought for a long time before I remembered my first job. My boss called me in the middle of the night to discuss the work. I'll tell you the truth. I don't like being disturbed by work in the middle of the night, and I have no private time. Perhaps, other companies will think you don't work hard when they hear such an answer in the interview. But I saw his smile. Then he told me that IKEA would never do that.

Ikea doesn't want you to work overtime on Saturday and Sunday. We hope you will be happy here, work hard during the day every week and fully enjoy your life after work. Hearing this, I have a good feeling about IKEA.

I like this kind of free and humanized company. Mr. HR said that IKEA is looking for people who are in line with the company culture, can work happily in the company and can develop for a long time. An hour passed quickly and the interview ended in a pleasant conversation. The interviewer asked me to wait. After a while, he came back and told me to have a second interview next Monday. This should be the easiest interview I have ever attended.

The whole interview was completed in a friendly and natural conversation. There are no inquiries about academic background, reasons for leaving, work experience, English proficiency assessment, etc. What IKEA is most concerned about is the quality and practical ability of your employees. In the expectation of both sides, the happy week passed quickly. On Monday, I came to the IKEA office of China Merchants Building in high spirits.

Because I feel good about one side, I am full of confidence in the other side. But when I saw the interviewer on the other side, I was a little nervous. There are two interviewers on the second side: one is Ms. China, the head of the department, who is very smart and capable; A foreign man, senior manager, tall and handsome. To tell the truth, this is the first time I have met a foreigner in my interview with a foreign company.

Naturally, from the moment we meet and say hello, the whole interview is in English. One hates my English; Second, I hate my adaptability. Because my English level is not very good, and I am not used to it, so I have been there? What? I was even more nervous when I saw that the smile of the foreign director was gone.

Forget improvisation, you can put aside your English level and emphasize your work advantages. I stammered to deal with it while I was annoyed. Do you have any other questions in 30 minutes? I asked a few random questions and the interview was over.

Mr. personnel informed me to go back and wait for news. I think the result should be predictable. I have to attend a friend's wedding. I thought I could tell them a good news. Alas?

Cheer up and get excited. Because I thought there was no hope, I began to consider new job opportunities. A week later, I got another call from IKEA. At that time, my friends and I were visiting He Xiangning Art Museum. I was surprised to hear the voice of Mr. Personnel Department. what can I do for you? He said that he asked me to come back for an interview tomorrow.

I'll be honest. I didn't feel very good at the last interview. How can I have another chance? He told me that they thought I was very suitable for IKEA culture and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with me, so they recommended me to other departments. I am very grateful to him for giving me this opportunity. I hope I can handle it. The third interview was with two ladies. They are the heads of two different departments.

They all need people, so they interview together. I thought to myself that I knew everything I needed to know in the previous interview, and my shortcomings were all shown.

Then, there is nothing to be afraid of. I must seize this rare opportunity. At first, I learned some basic information, and immediately entered the understanding of specific work. Because this position needs to deal with suppliers and so on, they have examined a lot of abilities in this area. Unfortunately, there was no such content in my previous job. And I made it clear in my resume. But I forgot to remind the interviewer that I have no work experience in this field. I made a big mistake. I just don't pretend to understand. When she asked me, what do you think are the factors that affect suppliers' failure to deliver documents in time?

According to my own guess, I mentioned several factors, all of which are general, not key factors. She went on to ask, so what can you do to solve these reasons? It takes a very practical operation to know. I can only insist and pull out some far-fetched methods. Obviously, my answer made her very dissatisfied. She frowned. Then, another interviewer asked me, what indicators do you think can measure production performance? Is there any way to improve production performance? This is something I'm not sure about.

I don't even remember what I answered. Anyway, the interviewer was not satisfied with my answer. She even asked me, did you hear my question clearly? Do you think your method is feasible? It's the first time I've encountered such dissatisfaction with the interviewer. I panicked again and repeatedly asked, what does that mean? She shook her head and smiled. Maybe my question is not clear. Then, ask another interviewer if there are any other questions.

After listening to it, you turned to ask me, what are your requirements for salary? I said my request. How did you get this salary requirement? Do you think it's reasonable? Judging from this tone, I think my salary requirement is a bit high. I explained several reasons. They looked at each other and said nothing. So, do you have any questions? I asked a few questions according to the questions prepared before I came. Thank each other. The interview is over. Please go home and wait for news. My intuition tells me that there should be no hope. A week and two weeks have passed, and the result is still hopeless. A rare opportunity, so close to IKEA, but so far away.

Interview summary:

1. IKEA really pays more attention to humanity and employees themselves. It can be seen from the selection process of the interview. It doesn't pay attention to your academic background, your work experience, your English level and so on. What IKEA values most is your own quality and practical ability. If you have good quality and strong ability, even after graduating from high school, you can try IKEA, which will definitely give you a chance!

Don't pretend to understand when interviewing. The part that won't, frankly, won't, was not involved in the previous work. Otherwise, it will really be ugly to die.

When interviewing, you must know how to deal with the new situation. This requires more interviews to do. Even now, I can't.

During the interview, when your English expression is not good enough or your work experience is not rich enough, please don't be depressed, and be honest with yourself about this part.

But stressed that they have many other advantages to make up for. Interviewers like to see this positive and confident attitude.
