I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Bellingham, WA)
Interview
You will need to get the application from the store and fill it out. You will usually get a call after a week or so. The interview is 1 on 1 interview. It starts with a bunch of personality/job experience sort of questions. During the interview the store manager will ask you to fill in the role as their sales associate and try to make a sale to a customer. Other than that there's nothing really you need to pay attention to.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Burbank, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The process was really smooth with the manager. They essential asked a couple things about myself and gave a run down about the company. They also let me know some things about themselves and about the team they have already.
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.
