IKEA hires for attitude first. Interviewers ask for real examples, so prepare one short story for each value below before you go in.
Examples from school, sports, volunteering or family life count as much as past jobs.
💡 Name the team you want: IKEA hires by department, so say whether you prefer sales, logistics or IKEA Food. Wide availability also puts you ahead of other applicants.
