I applied in-person. I interviewed at Zara (Utrecht)
Interview
Short and fast, but you need to wait till the manager is done with what he/she is doing. First, you will get a personal interview, then you will get a contract. You have to get an orientation first before start of work.
The interview process was quick and outside the store. They seemed to be really busy as it was during the holiday season. I felt like they person interviewing me was really detail oriented and was taking notes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is my retail experience? Why Zara? What do I know about the brand?
Straightforward, friendly and not too challenging . Usual questions for a retail role/ scenarios relating to customer service and personal qualities. Asked about what I could bring to the role and how I dealt with working under pressure. Also asked how I dealt with stress.
