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.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Zara (Houston, TX) in Oct 2014
Interview
they will call you for interview. they will ask questions and once the hiring manager likes you they will hire you. it was a good interview experience. very friendly managers
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
I went to a hiring event for the Westlake location. I have years of prior experience in retail so I wasn't intimidated by any questions. After quite a while wait I was introduce to the manager who took me to the front of the store for some basic questions. The usual "How did you hear about this event?" and "Why do you want to work for Zara?" Etc etc. it was quick with a brief look at my previous work experience. If you didn't apply online they have paper applications for you to fill out. It always helps to have your current resume with you. She thanked me for coming in and informed me that if I was selected she would call me later that day and even told me what number to expect (it was not the store number). Later that day I got the job! Aside from a near 45 minute wait I can't complain. I used the wait time to observe the other employees and take a look at the different departments. It may help you in the interview to express interest in future goals or preferred departments.
