I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forever 21 in Oct 2015
Interview
This was an internal move. However, I did interview with the District Visual Manager ( phone) and then with the Store Manager ( in person). I did not come in contact with the Regional Manager until after I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This was more of a Leadership interview than Visual. They honestly just want to know if you are capable of leading a team of young merchandisers, execute launches, promotions, markdowns, and plan and execute seasonal floor sets.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Novi, MI)
Interview
I was already working as an assistant manager so the interview process will possibly be different for external candidates. When the position was open I first applied and showed interest to the district manager. That week a visual manager from the corporate office was doing a field visit in the area so my final interview was in person with him at the Novi, store.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Troy, MI) in Apr 2019
Interview
Was relocating to the Michigan area from Texas so reached out to DM & DVM via LinkedIn to see if they had any job opportunities. Was informed that there was opportunity within the company.
There would be a NSO in the same timeframe that I would be moving to Michigan. Did an initial over the phone interview with DM & DVM. Spoke about my background, experience, etc.
Met with them in person in Michigan, at one of the store locations. (Somerset in Troy, MI).
Sat down & talked about my experience and showed them examples of my visual work. Then we walked the store and they had me tell them any call outs I see. I let them know what I thought was wrong, what needed to be changed.
Had me do a physical application and background check on the spot.
