I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Journeys in Aug 2011
Interview
I met with the district manager first and he was very laid back and the interview was very conversational. The following day I met with the store manager. She was in ripped denim shorts and flip flops, so unprofessional. She brought a binder and flipped from page to page reading word for word stereotypical interview questions. Many I answered several different times and many did not apply to the job. Dont ask about school when I have 15 years of experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Journeys (Chicago, IL)
Interview
After applying, I was contacted to come in store for an interview. During the interview, they asked questions about previous job history and a series of questions where you have to be specific and detailed. You’re then given a page with benefits listed on it. I heard back about a week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question that is asked is a time that you felt satisfied and dissatisfied with your current role/the company you work for.
Interviewed by Store Manager and then District Manager. First interview consists of basic questions. The second interview is more in depth. They expect you to ask a lot of questions and know at least a little about the company. Meeting sales goals daily/weekly is VERY important for growth in the company, so being a goal oriented is extremely important. Being well dressed, outgoing and interested in fashion (not necessarily shoes) is a must.
Was called to set up an interview and I asked what the salary would be. The girl refused to give me an answer. She kept saying it varied by location and store sales. I asked for a ballpark amount and she still would not answer the question. I asked how I would know what I would be making and she said the district manager determines pay and I would find out if I was offered a position. I have never heard of a company not giving someone even an average range of pay. This makes me very suspicious of the company.
