Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.

Application
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
It was a group interview with two others applicants. We were asked about 5 questions and had to explain how we dealt with situations and what experienced we gained from previous jobs. Quick turn around from applying to the interview to getting a call from the hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a time you had to step up and take action to better the group as a whole?
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
