applied online and heard back a day later for a group interview. about 8 girls and 2 boys mostly high school or college aged like myself and we sat around in a circle in our comfy clothes that we were told to wear. i wore all lululemon and strategically sat across from the interviewer who seemed a bit unorganized. answered a lot of questions that revolves around the companys values. made it into a second interview with the store manager and she made it seem like i was getting hired and she said she was going to call back. its been 2 weeks.
Group interview with multiple candidates and the manager and assistant manager. You get asked a question by the manager and everyone takes turns answering the questions and then repeat until the interview is complete. Then they call you for round two.
Personality based interview centered on empathy and being an overall nice person that is understanding and open minded. Wait times vary for callbacks and positions are often applied to by a lot of people.
The interview focused less on technical retail knowledge and more on personality, communication, teamwork, customer experience, and alignment with the company values and culture.
The questions required thoughtful and personal answers, so preparation definitely helps. It felt like they were looking for authenticity, self awareness, and strong people skills rather than scripted answers.
Advice for candidates: prepare real examples from previous experiences and practice speaking naturally on camera. Energy and communication style seem very important in the process.
