The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 in Jun 2010
Interview
I handed in my resume and got a call for an interview a week later. I had a one on one interview from the manager. My advice is to make sure you are confident and relaxed when you are in the interview. If you are shy, pretend to be confident. Remember, the other person has never met you before this and won't know that you are a shy person. Also, dress the part. Don't dress up too much because forever 21 is more of a store that sells casual to semi-formal clothing. A dress shirt and maybe shorts will do if it is summertime. The manager asked me about 4-5 questions that were pretty basic. Just take your time and stay calm.
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.
