I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Wheaton, MD) in Apr 2010
Interview
Attended a packed Open-Call. Know that dressing the part is important to employers at Forever 21 ("how can we sell fashion if we don't look it?") Do your homework, assemble some favorite trends -- you'll likely be asked to talk a bit about fashion. Most of all, appear cool, collected, and outgoing. Forever 21 is not interested in shy associates. Play up your best qualities (retail experience is not a must!). Go in with a printed resume to stand out.
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.
