I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Neiman Marcus (Central Valley, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied on Indeed.com and received an email a couple days later. Set up an interview a few days after. This was my first interview and I'm happy that it was pretty laid back. It was just me and the head of relations, since the hiring manager was not in. Had to wait a couple minutes when I first came and then went into the back into his office. I was pretty nervous but stayed calm. Since I had no work experience he asked if I had any volunteer work ect. We suddenly got into a conversation about theatre and actors. He showed me one of the catalogs with outrageous things you can buy through Neiman Marcus. He then offered me a temorary/seasonal job, but I had to re apply through their website when I got home. There was also a background check/drug test but I never got that far. Ultimately ended up never going back because I was offered a better job somewhere else.
This was a virtual interview with recruiter. The next step would have been with a local sales manager but our schedules did not align so I did not continue the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell us about your experience satisfying customers?
Simple and straightforward, questions about my experience, why I want to work there, etc. Then, more specific questions about my sales background. There were no trick questions really. It was just straight to the point.
I had a virtual interview with a recruiter after applying and invited to online hiring fair. Discussed background, asked about commitment and availability as well as applicable skills and background. Was looking for a seasonal position, and none were available yet.
