I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Vans (Jersey City, NJ) in Jun 2015
Interview
I was purchasing a pair of sk8-hi's, when the assistant manager asked me if I was looking for a job. I wasn't at the time, but I still took her up on the offer because of the location; It was closer to me than the job I had at the time. As soon as I got home I applied to Vans online and called the manager I met at the time to let her know that I applied to the job. After a couple of weeks I received a call for my actual interview, I showed up on-time with my resume. I spoke with the assistant manager for about five minutes and she told me I got the job because she liked my style and thought that I could wear the brand well. I didn't start working at Vans until two weeks after than interview, so, a month after our initial meet. It also took very long for me to start working at Vans because the system was acting up.
Group interview with atleast 10 others. Maybe about 30 minutes. Best to tell stories of customer experience for answers to better highlight self. It was about 10 questions long with two store managers.
