I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Windsor Fashions (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Went into the store asked for an application on Tuesday and turned it in with my resume on Thursday. Called me the weekend for a group interview the next weekend. She told me to dress like if you were to work at Windsor, but i suggest dressing professional with accessories. Interview was easy. nothing really asked about skills mostly fashion and what you can bring to the company. The group interview was me and another girl and only one of us was going to get the job. Near the end of the interview they gave each of us "and event" we had to pick out an outfit for. (ex: Baby shower, first date". After the interview they took about 4 days to email us if we got the job or not.

Interview
Sat in the middle of the mall with 3 other girls, supervisor asked typical interview questions and then asked us to describe to her what we think is something “in fashion” right now. Then we went into the store and she gave us each a scenario of a customer (I.e shopping for a cruise) and had us pick a afternoon and evening outfit we’d suggest to the fake customer and present them to her. Fairly quick interview overall
They asked me over and over about a literal few month gap in my working experience which was for school until something bad and personal happened I declined to talk about and said was personal. They kept asking which was inappropriate, I am not going to trauma dump in an interview, sorry lol.
They asked a few questions about your experience in fashion and why you would want to work there. It was a groups interview with 3 people. It was a quick interview around 30 minutes.
