I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (New York, NY) in May 2017
Interview
I filled out the application and got call that there was a hiring event for majority of the stores in the city between 9 am-12pm.
It was a bunch of other applicants waiting I the back room as well. The first person I met was the same person who called for me to come in. She was super sweet and I usually get nervous during interviews but she was so fun and smiled the whole time, so I did fine. She told me to go to the back room and wait.
After all the other applicants were interviewed by her another manager came to get everyone and brought us to another office there were three managers including the one to get us. They had each of us speak individually in front of each other about our prior job experiences. They ask each and everyone of us different questions based off what we said about our experience. All three of the managers were extremely nice (all from different stores)
I received a call to come in for another interview with the general manager of the store, he was also very nice. He asked me general interview questions and basically added onto the other managers questions.
The interview process was friendly and professional. They are looking for bubbly energetic personalities to bring to their team. My advice would be to look presentable and bring your fun self to the interview. Retail is all about making someone feel seen and heard and making a friend
I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Orland Park, IL)
Interview
It was super easy and if you haven't done retail before they still give you a chance. They ask each person different questions, one was why do you want to work here
