Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 months)
"You decide": There were four separate 1:1 interviews with four different people over a 90 day period for what I finally learned was for a minimum wage position. No, I'm not joking. Midway through this process, I had been unable to obtain a status update regarding my candidacy for the job because my two communication attempts, almost a couple of weeks apart after my second interview, did not yield a response nor had anyone contacted me until after I made my final, third attempt. Yes, I had sent "thank you" correspondence after the interviews. Anyway, I was relieved when I was told after interview #4 that I was not going to be offered the job. It was during interview #4 where I was informed that the minimum wage would be the hourly compensation (or possibly maybe .50 cents an hour more than minimum wage) and regardless of factors such as mall traffic, weather, the lousy economy, etc. employees get "written-up" when they fail to sell enough chocolate and do not meet their quota. I know, it's hard to believe but at least it's a Great Recession-era story I haven't gotten tired of telling yet.

Godiva will typically hire you if you have the experience theyre looking for; customer service and retail. If this is your first job you are applying to, theres still a chance of being hired, just include your volunteer work and great references. I just went in and asked for application. Typically you want to go in at a time where the store manager/hiring manager is there. If not its okay, just ask for an application and find out when the manager will be in. Its good for you to talk to the manager and let them know who you are. Complete your application as much as possible and try to return it to the manager. Before you leave ask them 'how soon can you hear back from them?'. Give it about a week, and if you havent been contacted, you can take it upon yourself to return and personally ask them about the status of your application. When the interview time comes around, make sure you let them know that you have your own transportation, and your availability. You need to either be available to open or close the store (am or pm shifts). Be professional in the interview, and youve got it.

The manager had put a great deal of emphasis on customer service. She will begin with basic questions like 3 strengths/weaknesses. She will then ask you about a time you delivered great customer service or what customer service means to you, and what you can bring to her team that no one else can. Scenario's might also be used like "If everyone was having a bad day, what would you do?".
