Crate and Barrel interview questions

Walk-in applicant. I got an email and a phone interview. I was asked to explain why I want to work there? What other experience do I have? What can I bring to the company? I was scheduled an in-person interview. I met the hire manager, who asked me several questions. I was asked questions and then I gave my questions. The interview lasted 35 minutes! It went well. I researched the company's 'about us" They do a 2nd interview if they want you, that is what i have next. I was asked first "Tell me about yourself, your experience" "How would you deal with a angry customer" "My retail experience" "How would I describe myself in 3 words" Most of it carried on from my personal answers. It was very extensive.

Professional manner, done in the store. Easy conversation, discussed mutual interests, places we had lived and what brought us to the current area. Substance of the interview was direct regarding customer service and overall sales. Since it was a part time position, no benefits were discussed. Prior retail experience didn't seem to be necessary although as a former buyer for a major retailer it sure is/was helpful with the local customer base.
