I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at francesca's (Orem, UT) in Nov 2014
Interview
I walked into the store and had the interview with the manager at the front desk. It seemed very informal and was quick. She was intimidating and said she would only give me the job if I promised I would be outgoing and not shy. Basically, that was the only thing she was worried about. She said to come in the next day and we would train for the job. It was a quick process and I think this is because they are always short on staff. It was also for a seasonal job, so they needed more employees.
Pretty fast, it started with a phone call and then in person interview. After the interview in-person, you are onboarded fast and watch some training videos. After that, you are on the floor and also trained on the register.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much or if I had any experience working retail
One on one interview, asked general questions for retail. I did notice that they are interested in availability more than anything. Had a portion in the end with fake scenarios.
It was an easy process and straightforward. The questions are about what the job entails to see if you would be a good fit. The interview was with the store manager.
