I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vans (Riverside, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Very simple group interview at first then got called back for a second one on one interview. Real basic questions about situations and the company. They ask you questions about yourself and your experience or personal hobbies or interests. They mainly want to see if you have that "selling" personality and seem friendly while having the brands look
