I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Santa Monica, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
I went in to drop off my application and they asked if I could come back in an hour for an interview. I had two interviews that day back to back. One with the selling manager and then with the store manager. Both were very straightforward and quick.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you felt overwhelmed at work and how you dealt with it.
Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
