I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Zara (Boston, MA) in Sep 2014
Interview
Typical Interview questions. Past work experience, time flexibility. I was asked If I can work as a cashier too. It took 30 minutes and I spoke with the store manager and we talked a little but about Zara and what are the company goals.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zara (Glendale, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Zara grandopening in Glendale Interview was quiet casual and comfortable. The HR asked questions and I answered with confident. One question she ask,"what do you do in everyday basis?" I responded but a bit confuse of the question. Although i answered with confident. She stopped me saying," NO WHAT DO YOU ON THE SALES FLOOR?" She was not specific. When the interview ended, she looked at my outfit, said "you look cute". and that made me realize one thing: you have to look like a model. Fair skin, tall. An ideal woman that can attract customers. It is not about how you response to their question. That is how I know they will not offer me the job. I am not sad. It is a shame that they chose beauty over intelligent.
There was a new store opening in my area so I decided to stop by and drop off my resume. The interview location was at a hotel lobby. When I got there, there was only one other girl filling out paperwork at a table. I introduced myself to the person in the front and they gave me a one page form to fill out. It was an easy form like my availability, past job experience, education...... After that I got an on the spot interview. It was a one on one interview and it felt comfortable but professional. I just had the interview yesterday and have not heard back but she said call backs would start in a week.
