I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Hicksville, NY) in Jun 2011
Interview
I didn't get the job officially yet, but my interviewer was very nice and I could tell that she was very dedicated to the store. She asked me the typical questions: explain yourself more, why Forever 21, how do you interact in a group, what can you bring to Forever 21. I was pretty comfortable with the interviewer and she seemed genuine. She did warn me about closing which can range from 11pm-3am which I was warned about earlier. And since I don't drive and said that my parents would have to pick me up, she said she wanted me to make sure that I could definitely do it. She told me to call back and if she didn't get a call, she would understand my choice. I have not decided if I was going to follow through yet, because I am also a student and taking classes, but I definitely am really eager to work at this store for the experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the thing you love most about helping customers?
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
