One interview. Basic questions. Not difficult to answer. Tell me about yourself. What are your strengths and weaknesses. Basic questions about previous experience. Where you see yourself in the future or future goals.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2017
Interview
Was put in contact with the manager through a connection internally. Got to choose when to come in for an interview with a lot of flexibility. Went to the store and sat down with a manager in their office. We chatted very informally about the job and my experience in retail. She loved my personality and hired me on the spot.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What experience or interest do you have in visual merchandising?
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Chandler, AZ) in Dec 2019
Interview
I applied on their website for the visual associate position. Within a day, I received a call to come in for an interview 2 days later. Imagine my surprise when I arrived after much preparation, only to learn that they "actually don't have any visual positions available" and that only people who started off in sales would be considered for the position.
I'm an experienced visual who's been doing strictly visual jobs for years. If I wanted a sales position, then I would have applied for a GD sales position. Needless to say, I walked out pretty pissed, though I thanked the recruiter anyway.
F21: be upfront (honest) on your job ads, and stop wasting people's time.

It was a basic walk-in interview. I was asked about why I wanted to work for the company and what my style icons in the fashion industry were. I was asked questions related to how well I work in given situations ( your basic retail questions)
