I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tommy Bahama in Oct 2013
Interview
Very straight forward interview process. I was contacted very shortly after sending in my resume. I was interviewed by the assistant manager and a floor supervisor. Standard scenario based retail questions during the interview. Fun staff and upbeat atmosphere. I did have an "in" as I had done business with the manager before. However, the manager did not interview me & had other members of the staff make the decision on whether or not to hire me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very standard retail interview, no curve ball questions.
Very straightforward. Asks about your previous experience and what you bring to the table. What interests you about Tommy Bahama, and Sales? Asks questions of how you would deal with certain customers and complaints.
My interview was quick and easy, relaxed and conversational. I submitted my application online then just stopped in in person to introduce myself, so it happened out on the sales floor and was very laid back. Decision was made quickly and was offered a job on the spot.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tommy Bahama (Sydney) in Aug 2024
Interview
1 minute face to face concerning availability. Really quick and standard. No need to dress up. I expected a slightly longer interview but the person interviewing basically wanted to see that I existed.
