      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange (Berkeley, CA) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      There were three interviews in total. The first included some basic questions about myself, including my work ethic, work experience, etc. It also included a buy test, where basically I had to pick clothes from a pile that I though would sell quickly for the store, and explain why I thought they would sell. For me, the manager was extremely friendly and encouraged me to relax and be myself. Basic knowledge of your community's style is key! After the first interview they schedule you for a second interview. This interview was a little more challenging, but definitely do-able! They had me go on the actual sales floor and pick three items from a certain section, (for me it was jackets), that I thought would sell quickly, and three items that I thought would not sell as fast. Once I picked my items, I showed them to the managers and explained why I thought they would or would not sell. After presenting, they went through my selection and told me why they agreed or disagreed with some of my selections. They moved on to ask me questions about my work experience, things such as naming a time where I provided/experienced great customer service, why the customer service was good, as well as citing instances where I acted with integrity in the work place. They really took the time to stress that a positive customer experience was the main goal of the company, and I could tell that this was a genuine interest of theirs. Overall, the managers were very open, friendly, and inviting. The last interview is actually a job overview. They basically called me in, went over my work availability, and offered me the job.

      Application

      I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      They called me a few weeks after I applied, only asked me a couple questions. One of them was "why should we hire you?" Went in for a second interview, first they asked me to go through the dresses and pick out three things that I thought would sell quickly and three that I thought would not sell quickly. Then I showed those to the hiring manager and explained my reasoning. She asked me a few more questions after that, mostly about how I would describe my style and clothing trend knowledge. After that, she asked for one reference for a former employer and scheduled me for a final interview which is happening in a couple days.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      i made through to one phone screening, and two in person interviews. a lot about clothes, trends, and how I would describe my style. so many interviews and a waste of time IMO for a retail job.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange (New York, NY)

      Interview

      There were 3 interviews to go through. First was a screener basically, meaning they ask you about your resume and some generic questions like where you like to shop, your past experience, etc. For the second one, they have you pull items from a specific category and discuss what items you would have bought in and what items you would have passed on and explain why. This is basically a test on if you are keeping up with the trends, it sounds like a bigger deal than it is. If they ask you back for a third "interview" you got it! The third "interview" is when they review the position and have you fill out paperwork if you bring the right documents, so it's where they offer you the position.
