Ralph Lauren.com Customer Service Representative at Polo Ralph Lauren

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in High Point, NC Jul 2009 – Reviewed Nov 16, 2012

Interview Details – Initially submitted resume/application on RalphLauren.com. Received a call -- short pre-interview -- and was invited in to complete some basic assessments which included a math skills test, language and grammar skills test and short form written essay and also a vision test as no agents could be color blind/deficient. After the initial assessment, was given appointment to come back in a do a computer skills assessment that took about 45 minutes-an hour. Once that was passed, was invited back in for a single group interview with about 10-11 other applicants. This format was interesting as the managers (there were three sitting in on my interview) bounced around from person to person asking questions. Each person was maybe asked 3-4 questions. There was also a tour of the call center floor and training rooms during the interview.

Interview Question – The questions were pretty standard; I don't recall being stumped or surprised by any of the questions.   Answer Question

Technical Designer at Polo Ralph Lauren

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Oct 18, 2012

Interview Details – I handed out copies of my resume at an expo and had brief interviews on the spot with several HR reps. A representative at Polo kept my resume and compared my credentials with the positions available to create the best match. I was invited for the initial interview and filled out an application. I was invited a second time and was interviewed by the Manager and Senior Technical Designer. During the interview I briefly described my previous employment. I also briefly talked about the history of Ralph Lauren and Polo, philanthropy activities, and any current storefront openings or any announcements of a new line Ralph was creating. The atmosphere was very laid back and pleasant. After the interview I was given a tour of the floor and the showroom rigged with the garments for the next season. It was a very positive experience.
