I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret in Oct 2009
Interview
I walked into the store asked for an application and filled it out. I brought it back and a few days later got a phone call to come in for an interview. I showed up 5 min early and they were not ready yet. They were waiting for everyone to show up. The first interview was a group interview. There were 5-6 girls that showed up and the store manager took us to the back and started to ask us questions as a group. It is extremely important if you really want the job to try and answer as many of the questions as you can. Most of the questions are "what if this happens" or "how would you handle this". You'll want to convey yourself as someone who is not afraid to speak to people and can clearly answer questions in a quick manner. It is more a test than an interview and to pass it you have to be outgoing. I rose my hand for every question, gave clear responses and included person examples from other jobs when I executed good customer service. I got called back a few days later for a one on one interview with a different manager who asked the same questions. I again gave clear answers citing instances where I demonstrated good customer service and was told after the interview that I got the job and that they'd be giving me an official call in a couple of days. Needless to say I got the job and love working there. Oh and by the way the only two people who were hired from the group interview were also the only two people who answered any questions.
Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
