I applied in-person. I interviewed at Tommy Bahama (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2018
Interview
Bring in resume in person and they call you to schedule an interview. If you pass the first interview, you meet with another manager for a second interview. They ask typical interview questions about your sales experience and customer service skills. The questions were okay. Nothing really stood out.
Very straightforward. Asks about your previous experience and what you bring to the table. What interests you about Tommy Bahama, and Sales? Asks questions of how you would deal with certain customers and complaints.
My interview was quick and easy, relaxed and conversational. I submitted my application online then just stopped in in person to introduce myself, so it happened out on the sales floor and was very laid back. Decision was made quickly and was offered a job on the spot.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tommy Bahama (Sydney) in Aug 2024
Interview
1 minute face to face concerning availability. Really quick and standard. No need to dress up. I expected a slightly longer interview but the person interviewing basically wanted to see that I existed.
