I applied in-person. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Modesto, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online and called the next day to follow up. I received a call back from them about three days later to come in for an interview I was asked basic questions. She told me I would hear back by mail or by phone within the week. I waited and waited and heard nothing. About 3 weeks later I was called back for a 2nd interview. I was told once again I would hear back by phone the next day or by mail. I never heard back so I called to follow up today and heard back a few hours later!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you make a person coming in to find something that fits her personality?
Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
