As you might know, in Sweden it's common to take a few weeks of holiday during July, most people take over multiple weeks in a row; at IKEA we are no different. We believe in a healthy work-life balance and encourage our co-workers to take time to relax, recharge, and unwind. Because of this great benefit, we might take a bit longer to get back to you, we will return in August, and you should hear from us as soon as possible.

We look forward to learning more about you!

Studies show that members of underrepresented communities don't apply for jobs unless they're 100% ''qualified''. If this is part of the reason you hesitate to apply, we like you to reconsider and give it a chance. Maybe your profile fits our needs much better than you think.
