I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forever 21 in Oct 2015
Interview
This was an internal move. However, I did interview with the District Visual Manager ( phone) and then with the Store Manager ( in person). I did not come in contact with the Regional Manager until after I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This was more of a Leadership interview than Visual. They honestly just want to know if you are capable of leading a team of young merchandisers, execute launches, promotions, markdowns, and plan and execute seasonal floor sets.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forever 21 (New York, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
Interview was very quick, simple questions about previous work experience. The most annoying part was the background check. They took forever to contact me and then never contacted me again after an offer was made. I spoke to a manager and tried to talk to her about starting schedule and she was always too busy for me. Just very unorganized.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Ontario, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Asked me normal interview questions like "why would you want to work here?"
Then asked me questions related to visual "which celebrity do you think will be the face of the company next season?". We then walked around the store and I was supposed to identify the type of person that would shop in each of the different sections. I was then to put together 5 outfits for these different girls.
