I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA in Jun 2009
Interview
The call was made early in the morning and when I didn't answer they left a message. When I called back later on around noon no one would answer and I mad to leave a message. I would call back every couple days but every time no one would answer. I finally received an email saying the position I applied for was filled.
I was interviewed by two people. They were very friendly and it was quite informal. They gave me plenty of time to ask my own questions. Overall, it was about as pleasant as an interview could be.

-Situation type of questions and how would you handle them
Round 2:
-Getting to know you
-Why do you want to work at ikea
