Interview
Handed in my CV as I saw the vacancy online. I got a call back an hour later asking me to come in for an interview the next day. The interview only lasted 15 minutes, very friendly & quite an informal interview. Assistant manager interviewed me, made a few notes then called me the next day offering me the job.
She are very Friendly, easy going, asking a lot of questions, lifestyle, free time, professional, experience, thoughtful, helping you to understand the questions clearly, not try to difficult to understand
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Swarovski (Hobart) in Oct 2025
Interview
Very fast, I was taken to the back room which was really just a small hallway full of boxes and was asked pretty standard retail interview questions and was given a rundown of day to day. They seemed pleased that I had cash handling experience and could be left on the store on my own, I'm pretty sure the main reason I wasn't given an offer was due to being busy during the black friday week.
