I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Boston, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
They interview see what are your qualifications and experience you have in the position. See if your attitude also is positive. Ask what are the days and hours you prefer to work. What companies you've worked for in the past and if switched from category of work and why the interest in something else. Do you wish to be trained in any other position in case they need you to fill in for them when another sales associate is running late or couldn't come to work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like about retail? What are your expectations? what hours and days you prefer to work.
The interview process was friendly and professional. They are looking for bubbly energetic personalities to bring to their team. My advice would be to look presentable and bring your fun self to the interview. Retail is all about making someone feel seen and heard and making a friend
I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Orland Park, IL)
Interview
It was super easy and if you haven't done retail before they still give you a chance. They ask each person different questions, one was why do you want to work here
Applied online and got a phone call to set up an interview. It was a group interview. I was asked some behavioral questions and was asked for specific examples from my previous jobs.
