I applied online. I interviewed at Zara (West Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2015
Interview
When I applied, it took around one month to get a reply from a manager. The interview took place in a room at the back of the store. The room wasn't too fancy. There was a moment though where the manager asked about my family background. I hesitated to answer that.
I walked in grabbed an application , filled it out and handed it in. I was called in for an interview. It was a group interview and was asked basic sales questions about my experience and so forth.
Group interview, ask questions about previous jobs. Interview with store manager and assistant manager. Pretty straight forward and heard back within same week. Also, asked questions about the company as a whole and other business that they operate.
