      Recovery Co-Worker Interview

      14 Jan 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Costa Mesa, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Costa Mesa, CA) in Nov 2008

      Interview

      I came in when they had a hiring event and was part of a group interview. When the person in charge of the group interview asked what everyone wanted to do at IKEA, all the people who said "I don't know" or "Anything" were told they could leave and would get a call if any positions opened up. Of the people that were sent home, I know 2 who got called back and worked at the register. I told the interviewer that I wanted to build furniture and like working with my hands. She then sent me to another room to interview with an HR co-worker. After I passed that interview, she told me that the Recovery Manager will call me to schedule another interview. About a week later, I came to interview with the department manager. After that I went downstairs to do skills test in which I was timed and observed. I built a book shelf, a chair, and drawer unit. A week after that, they called me in for a job offer.
