I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vans (Fairfax, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I interviewed for a brand new store that hadn't been built yet. So the process was a little different.
Started with group Interview asking general questions with follow up emails, paperwork, and training.
Every Interviewee showed up at the brand new store and were tasked to basically build the store from the ground up. (simultaneously being trained about product knowledge, and selling techniques)
It began with all 32 interviewees. The 2 week trial period pushed all the kids to the brinks with blood, sweat, and tears- only 10 made the cut.
They call this process "Go Team". I call it hell
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell a time you were able to change a customer's mind?
me llamaron al día siguiente de tirar el CV e hice la entrevista donde al mismo día me llamaron. la entrevista fue alrededor de 20 minutos donde explican lo que desean de ti y tu explicas lo que sientes y te describen el puesto además de conocerte como persona
not too bad and pretty straight forward. simple questions were asked to detirmine if they thought you would fit. lastedd about 20 minutes and was in a group setting with 5-10 people.
