      Counter Manager Interview

      31 May 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Origins (Boston, MA) in May 2012

      Interview

      I am still in the interviewing process but I just had my first phone interview. This is the Talent Plus part of the interview. I conveniently read about the Talent Plus thing on this site, and it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. My lunch break is only 1 hour so I am waiting for someone to call me back to complete the last 10 questions. Basically all of the questions ask you whether or not you believe something and then to tell them about a time you did that something. So many questions, and these are all that I can remember. I hope this helps someone else who is going through the Talent Plus section of the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me to tell them about a time: I demonstrated leadership Got others to get excited about a mundane task Would discuss with a subordinate their drinking habits while they are not at work Thought of an improvement in the middle of the night Whether or not I like to take lots of breaks, or work straight through How I would handle a team of Beauty Advisors who didn't get along with each other How would I treat a VIP that is coming to the counter Motivate others to reach their goals Effectively delegate tasks Greatest success Do others at work ask me for advice Do others at work like me ... How do you know Do friends ask me for advice What do I look for in a friend What characterists does a good counter manager possess ... do I have those skills How do I relax What are my hobbies Has anyone ever commented about how tidy my workspace is Do I have a plan of action for my counter ... How will I execute this plan of action Why would I work late for the company

      Counter Manager Interview

      22 Mar 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Origins in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Standard retail interview procedure - discussed customer service, KPIs, experience, goals, et. cetera. Mine was more like a chat about past experience and applicable skills than a stuctured interview, although experiences may vary.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - What experience do you have with KPI's? - What relevant experience do you have? - What do you know about the brand? - What can you bring to the role?
