I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NIKE in Oct 2015
Interview
I handed my cv and cover letter in to the store and I was called for a group interview of about 20 people. We did numerous group tasks which included selling a prouduct, a game of clap and catch and telling them about ourselves. It was a very fun interview! I was unsuccessful for the position because I was told I should've had more knowledge about Nike due to my friend already working for the company. Which I believed to be a unfair reason because I gave them all the knowledge my friend knows and they said before the interview that they wasn't bothered about knowledge, but people that were passionate about Nike because they have training to give people product knowledge . So I thought it was pretty unprofessional of them to base me being unsuccessful on that reason and they pretty much contradicted them self.
