I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tommy Bahama (Naples, FL) in Dec 2010
Interview
I was interviewed by the store manager and assistant manager. They asked general interview questions, "why do you want to work for Tommy Bahama?" I was grossly overqualified for this position. I received a hone call offering me the position 2 weeks after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assistant manager had an immature quality about her.
I honestly believe they will hire anyone who is desperate for a job. The pay rate is horrible and there is no room for promotions. You will spend time looking for another job once you have worked a few months for Tommy Bahamas.
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.
