I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vans
Interview
Due to new store opening, interviews were done in groups. The environment was very laid back, and more relaxed questions opened the interview before getting into customer service and experiences. Vans very much tries to find a fit for their brand and philosophies, so you'll get that vibe from the questions they ask. They called about a week after the interview for a more pointed follow up and training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you delivered excellent customer service.
Very straightforward. Managers become like family. Sometimes annoying but most of the times they do you solids by being fairly flexible with your schedule if you're good at your job.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vans (Northridge, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Very causal group interview. Just answer honestly and enthusiastically! They want to see how you stand out in the group setting and want to get a feel for who you are as an individual!
