I had applied as a bridal stylist but included on my resume that I knew how to sew. I received a call from the alterations department asking me to interview for alterations instead, and I accepted. They had me come in for a general interview where I met the store manager and then had a casual interview with the alterations manager. I was asked to come in the next day for a sewing test. I was given a sample dress and asked to hem the front and blend it into the train. Then, I was asked to sew down an invisible zipper that had come loose. I was also asked to take in the bodice at the side seam. The measurements were marked for me, and the test was really just to gauge what “level” to hire me as to determine my skill level and pay rate. I got an offer at the end of this test!
