I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 in May 2012
Interview
My friend referred me to her boss, and a few days later I received a phone call asking for an interview. I arrived for the interview expecting a 1 on 1 interview, but turns out, there were 8 other people there. The manager was late and left us all waiting in the middle of the store for her. Once she arrived, she just interviewed us all at once in the middle of the sales floor with customers around. She barely talked to us individually, but the whole interview took awhile since we had to wait for everyone to answer all of the questions. It didn't run smoothly at all. The manager instantly singled out favorites, and it was obvious from the start.
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
