I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vans (Fairfax, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I interviewed for a brand new store that hadn't been built yet. So the process was a little different.
Started with group Interview asking general questions with follow up emails, paperwork, and training.
Every Interviewee showed up at the brand new store and were tasked to basically build the store from the ground up. (simultaneously being trained about product knowledge, and selling techniques)
It began with all 32 interviewees. The 2 week trial period pushed all the kids to the brinks with blood, sweat, and tears- only 10 made the cut.
They call this process "Go Team". I call it hell
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Vans (Salinas, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview process was rather annoying considering the fact that it was a group interview consisting of about 15 people. They made it clear they were only looking to hire 2-4 people. People were talking over other's. The interviewer didn't have an actual set of questions. He was just making things up as he went. I didn't feel right.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach someone you knew was stealing as they walk out the door?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vans (Torrance, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview process is fairly simple and straight forward.They do not offer paper applications, everything is done via the vans website. From the website you are able to choose which job(s) to apply for and which location(s) you are interested in. Sometimes it takes a few days to receive a call back from them about your application but doesn't take more thank a week. They had me interview with a few other candidates which is not very overwhelming only because it is only a total of 3 people and the interviewer.
