I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at J. Crew (Portland, ME) in Feb 2012
Interview
This was a basic/ standard retail sales associate interview; first the informational phone interview which consisted of about 10 questions regarding my work history a current situation followed by a one on one interview with a recruiter. I was not the only applicant being interviewed that day. The interviewer was pleasant and asked pretty much the same questions as the phone interviewer. I believe that I was being looked over for how I presented myself physically and my face to face sales appeal. I have worked retail in the past and was not surprised by any question.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at J. Crew (Grand Prairie, TX)
Interview
Lovely interview with the then assistant manager. Just connect showing your bubbly personality and talk maturely about your former job experience.
It ran for about 30-35 mins yet felt as if time flew by due to great conversation.
Great retail job. Requires alot of connecting with customers, even styling them in the fit rooms. But also remember EVERYONES EXPERIENCE is different
the interview was entirely behavioral and very casual/conversational. mostly just how you would handle customer interactions and selling the credit card. i would highly recommend working there and interviewing. very similar to other retail interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how comfortable are you with selling a credit card at checkout and how would you go about it?
Easy, Basic Questions with the store manager. Just ask about previous experience and your availability. Why you want to work there. Met with the store manager and asked questions outside of the store.
