I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 in May 2012
Interview
My friend referred me to her boss, and a few days later I received a phone call asking for an interview. I arrived for the interview expecting a 1 on 1 interview, but turns out, there were 8 other people there. The manager was late and left us all waiting in the middle of the store for her. Once she arrived, she just interviewed us all at once in the middle of the sales floor with customers around. She barely talked to us individually, but the whole interview took awhile since we had to wait for everyone to answer all of the questions. It didn't run smoothly at all. The manager instantly singled out favorites, and it was obvious from the start.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 (El Paso, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
The first day I filled out an application and turned it into the manager and was interviewed on the spot. She asked me "what does customer service mean to you?" , " Tell me about a time you had to deal with an upset customer and how you dealt with it?" . That went well and she told told me that she would give me a call for a group interview. About 3-4 days later she called and told me i had another interview and in this one she asked about "what trends are in right now" and i was told to sell a product and situation questions were asked. That interview was really chill and calm since i was with only one other candidate.I really suggest on reading about trends and knowing whats in specifically.
