Interview
Group interview. We showed up before the store open to the public and stood in a circle. Was super rushed, about 10 minutes total for the four of us. Manager asked questions and if you weren't the first or second person to speak up then you didn't get to answer. You can tell the manager didn't care about the answer but more about who stood out and personality. If you are super bubbly and a people person and know a lot of the store's products then you got the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to work here?
What is your favorite product?
Do you shop here often?
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer.
Pick your favorite item and sell it to me. (This question was the one that matters so practice a quick 30-second pitch before the interview.)
It was a group interview. We went out of the store into the mall lounge areas and the BBW associate asked us questions as a group, sometimes going one by one to hear individual answers.
