I applied online. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Applied via e-mail to the manager. Received a phone call where the manager held a impromptu phone interview between me and her. I was then asked to go to an in-person interview where she asked me a few questions and had me do an "audition" where I was to sell her a pair of sunglasses using the store's standard script. Got asked to do a second interview next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when your integrity was questioned and how you handled it
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.

Question 1
Was there ever a time where you had to deal with a difficult customer?
Phone (asked about availability, location & if I wanted full time/part time) then in person. Asked simple scenario questions about how I handled conflict and describe how I would sell stuff.

Interview
It really depends on your manager as there’s no specific set guidelines. Generally easy questions and basic questions regarding sales. I’ve helped my manager come up with scenarios on top of some easy basic questions.
