Quiksilver Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I applied online and received an almost immediate response, and made an appointment to come into the store for a small group interview. The process was very laid back and relaxed, with the interviewers being very nice and informal. We were taken around and shown the store and did some new hire orientation the same night and we were introduced to the employees there.

Negotiation Details – There was none.

Interview Details – Got a call about a week after applying online. I know other people have said to dress casually probably in Quicksilver attire, so I wore a Quiksilver shirt with a a dress shirt over it as well as skinny black jeans. Got there and waited for the manager where we moved to another location of the mall . Pretty basic questions of why do you want to work here, what qualifies you. Overall simple interview. Didn't get an offer however, but could be due to lack of work experience.

Interview Details – Group interview for seasonal position. Went around the room sharing a two facts about ourselves. Then asked questions about why Quiksilver, an interesting sales experience we've had and what could we contribute to the team. Pretty much just looking for people who aren't shy or awkward and could carry a conversation. We also had to do a mock sales pitch and sell another persons outfit. Got a call about an hour after the interview.

Interview Details – 4 Interviews total, very relax environment.

Interview Details – Applying for a position at a company like quicksilver was relatively laid back. After the initial online questions /survey and essay you just have to wait for an answer to come back. I was fortunate to receive a call less then 2 days later. I spoke with an employee who would laterbe the interviewer. He was probably in his mid 20s and was extremely laid back but still maintained a professional appeal. In the 1 on 1 interview he asked me basic questions; what do you like to do for fun, tell me about yourself, why quicksilver, and one interesting question... If you could be trapped in one object, what would it be? And how would you get out? The interview process was actually enjoyable and I ( being the outgoing and friendly person I am) found the interview to be exciting and fun. Quiksilver has an awesome building.

Reason for Declining – Was offered a position at a start up company and thought the start up would be more beneficial for me down the road. I knew I could learn more at a start up and take those skills anywhere rather than learn at Quiksilver where I may have been pigeon holed into one job task.

Interview Details – The interview was very short and very casual. The interviewer asked me three basic questions (i.e., Why Quiksilver?) and then extended an offer to me on the spot. I asked him a few questions about the position/duties and he couldn't answer any of them. Shortest interview I've ever had.

Interview Details – I went in with an idea of the kind of employee they were looking for. A few of my friends were also working there at the time. The interview process was the smoothest I had ever been to up until that time. It is important to just be yourself. My interviewer was also a college grad student, so connecting based on the closeness of age and on familiar topics was what really made me stand out and let her see that I am a good team worker and do not alienate myself in a team environment.

Interview Details – What a mess this company is! I know we all need a job right now... but avoid this place if you can. I went on an interview and decided not to take the position. HR calls me a week later and leaves a message on my machine trying to get me to come in and interveiw... for the same position!!!! I think that they are over worked... but wow. HR completely didnt know that I had already met with the hiring manager a week before.

Reason for Declining – Bad vibes are in the air fro all the lay offs.

Interview Details – There was one simple strait to the point interview. Discussued basics of job description and exactly what would be expected. Companies overall culture is very relaxed (T-shirt, shorts, sandles all completly acceptable and actually encouraged (very cool)). Office environment is really cool with tons of memorabelia posted on walls and they have a very clean working enviromment.

Negotiation Details – Very Strait foward, no BS, no games. Hiring managers were very strait with what was expected aa well as what on the table.

Advice? Company is fair and forthcoming but my advise is; prove you have game and the rest will follow.

Awesome culture if you want to be part of the leading act within the surf industry!
