Interview
After receiving an email that I was being considered and had been offered an interview, I scheduled for one using the provided link. On the day of, I showed up ten minutes early, then was led to the office in the stockroom by one of the managers. I handed in a physical copy of my resume and answered all questions that followed. Then I was asked a series of fairly generic questions, and at the end, I was asked about my availability and expectations of the job.
It was a pretty standard interview with situational questions and they explained the job duties. They also took me around the store to show me around and introduce me to everyone.
Pretty straight forward, the interview was like any other for any clothing company. Pretty quick, from call to being on the job took 1-2 weeks minimum. Though pay wasn’t that great, it was still a good learning experience.

If a customer asked for a location of a product what will you do
Very easy! They asked about my experience and ask me a few behavioral questions and then discuss about the role. The manager was really nice and really enjoyed it as a first job!
