I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at francesca's (Jersey City, NJ) in Apr 2010
Interview
I saw an ad on craiglist.com and sent my resume. Some days later, the manager called me to set and interview wit me that very same day, which was impossible because of school. So the interview took place the next day. I showed up at the scheduled time but had to wait some minutes. The interview was long, like 40 minutes.The manager was nice and really young, probably younger than me . First thing she asked me was why I wanted to work there and if I had ever shopped there before, which unfortunately I hadn't since the company was opening anew store in my area. I guess that's what they didn't like it that much. At least I was honest. She told me they would check on my references and would give me a call if I had gotten the position, which never happened.
Pretty fast, it started with a phone call and then in person interview. After the interview in-person, you are onboarded fast and watch some training videos. After that, you are on the floor and also trained on the register.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much or if I had any experience working retail
One on one interview, asked general questions for retail. I did notice that they are interested in availability more than anything. Had a portion in the end with fake scenarios.
It was an easy process and straightforward. The questions are about what the job entails to see if you would be a good fit. The interview was with the store manager.
