IKEA jobs

The IKEA website provides a useful overview of IKEA jobs and IKEA vacancies.

But check other supermarket and third party job sites to see the full range of jobs available from IKEA, and employers like IKEA.

On the main IKEA web site, jobs can be accessed through the 'Apply Now' link. This section lists current opportunities and allows you to search for IKEA jobs using criteria that match your interests. 

IKEA are pursuing localisation online more aggressively than many of their competitors, leading to the creation of sites like ikeasouthamptonstore.co.uk. So in searching for IKEA jobs in your locality, try and put in local search terms. For instance a search for "IKEA jobs Southampton" is likely to reveal the site mentioned above. Local IKEA sites are well worth reading in detail, even if you are applying for National graduate jobs, then you can will have something to talk about at interview. 

In the same spirit, make sure to spend a day looking round your liocal IKEA store. Imagine going for a management position and, on being asked a genial question about your local IKEA store, your only answer is, "I didn't know there was one!" 

IKEA jobs - third party sites

IKEA jobs can be found on third party job sites. For instance, Jobrapido lists a large selection available throughout the country, although its claim to list *all* the jobs offered by IKEA is an exaggeration, so don't limit yourself to just using this one site.

If you are applying for management positions then do a deep search to discover all the ins and outs of the selection process. For instance, Retail Human Resources plc works with the IKEA recruitment team on their top retail careers jobs. They have a web site detailing their procedures, and it is well worth investigating in preparation for a "top job" interview.

Other useful sites to explore are company overview sites like career.com. These give you useful snippets of information about the companies they review, and, indeed, will help you decide if you *really* want to work for them.
