I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Steven Madden (Schaumburg, IL) in Aug 2014
Interview
I applied in store, during the time that I was making a purchase, actually. I was checking out with the manager and she agreed to hire my friend and I. First, there's a phone interview and they ask a few standard questions. If you pass, then there's an in-person interview, one on one with the manager. They call back after a few days have passed with your offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of shoes are currently on-trend or align with the clothing trends of this season?
Asked a long list of questions from a sheet of pre-written questions, but felt like a long thorough conversation about my background. Interviewer was overall very friendly. Only one interview. I got the job and accepted.
I applied online. I interviewed at Steven Madden (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was quick and easy. I enjoyed my conversation and it was pretty much just straight forward questions. Probably only took 20 minutes max since the questions are around what you like and what you don’t like, fashion sense and experience with customers and scenarios.
