David's Bridal interview questions

Originally, my daughter brought home the application. She received it from the alterations manager when the manager overheard my daughter say my mom can hem that for you when she and others were trying on dresses for a bridal party. The manager handed her an app. and wrote alterations at the top of it. That was two months ago. I filled it out and took it in on Monday. Alterations manager asked me to come back on Friday for the sewing test. I did. I was asked to do a rolled hem, which she showed me how to do. Then I had to rip out a zipper and sew a new one into a dress. The zipper foot is awesome. I had never sewn on an industrial machine and she let me practice for a while since once the presser foot is pressed it can take off like a race horse. This took about two hours. Ripping out the zipper took the longest. Then the manager asked me a few questions like. How did I learn to sew? What type of sewing had I done. General questions. Alter. Mgr also told me there was a dress code. Had to wear a jacket and dress shoes. She then took me to the Store manager and I talked with her. Store manager asked me questions. Like what was the most stressful day at a job, and how I dealt with it. What was my favorite part of selling. I would be selling my services to customers. I needed to upsell, or try and sell extra services. The store manager took my app. and said she would give it to the alterations mgr. The store was clean and it seemed the help were amicable. Back in the sewing room the girls were nice but attended to their work and they seemed happy with what they were doing and the atmosphere they worked in.

My friend worked there and recommended me. I went into the store, turned in an application, and the store manager happened to be there at the time. She took me into the back, liked me, then had the regional manager call me. After that, hired!
