Entrevista
I initially applied online for the retail sales position back in late June and had a telephone screen in early July. According to the HR screening rep, the position I applied for was filled but she said once another position opens to apply for it and then they will automatically move me to the in-person interview. So I did just that and was scheduled for an in-person interview in August when a position opened up.
It was a semi-group, two part interview. There was four of us and each of us were called into an office to be interviewed by the Assistant Manager. It was more of a conversational interview than a Q&A interview. After that the Assistant Manager showed us around the sales floor and asked us to put together a specific outfit based on a scenario. We then had to explain why we chose the outfit for her.
She said the next step was for her to discuss the results with the Manager of the department and then she would contact us on whether or not we were going to move forward.

it was a really chill and easy interview, the manager was very warm and friendly and none of the questions were too difficult. there was a sale practice section where you have to pretend to sell an item to a customer, but it wasn't too difficult and the manager gave me some guidance and clarification on the practice scenarios. other questions included things along the lines of how you deal with competition, conflict, unhappy customers, teamwork, as well as availability
mock sale questions: what features of this item would you point out to the customer? what concerns or hesitations might the customer have about this item and how would you help them decide? after the customer decides they want the item, how would you close the sale?

Extremely easy. I looked the part and got the job. My manager called me the same day to welcome me to the team. They like for their employees to have their own personal style that’s appropriate and makes others want to buy.
