I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Burlington, ON) in Apr 2018
Interview
After I submitted my application for around one week, they called me for a phone interview. Then they asked me to attend a hiring workshop. I need to prepare two questions for this workshop (what is your favorite product in ikea and which is your favorite ikea value). The workshop was very relaxing and they told us a lot of knowledge about Ikea. After that, I got an email for a background check. One week later, my references got the phone call from them. Now one more week passed, I am still waiting for a reply.

Interview
Each and every person I had talked with was very kind and informative. I know when having the interview with PJ. He was so welcoming and kind, he definitely tried to ensure that I felt as relaxed and comfortable as I could. PJ was very informative and understanding, he helped me understand like step by step and very open with my answers. He helped me be able to answer the questions with ease, since he was extremely understanding from my previous work experiences. The questions were both well thought out and very engaging for getting to know the employee. It was a very pleasant and easy going experience for me.
