Interviewed Dec 2010 in Santa Fe Springs, CA (took a day)
I interviewed at Vans and overall, it was not a bad interview at all. Really enjoyed talking to the different individuals and would have been an excellent opportunity. All the managers and people I talked with were nice and professional. Not sure why it didn't go further. Would have been a great place to work, at least from my limited perspective and experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
First interview was with another store manager who was making calls for the district manager and went great. Second interview was supposed to be with the district mgr, but ended up being from a phone interview with a HR mgr in Arizona, who called me almost an hour after the time scheduled. After I tried to reach her for over a half and hour, I gave up and went to the gym. But, then she called me later. No explanation, no can you do it now, just kind of drop what ever you're doing and let's talk. No wonder she thought a manager of 6+ years was underqualified, it's hard to interview while you're on the treadmill.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Arlington, TX (took a day)
I arrived wearing semi casual attire, its a good idea to look the part and be informed of the compant. I was asked simple questions but the most common asked out of all people interviewed was: If you could sit down to have lunch woth anyone who ever existed who would that be?

Very simple interview. Met with the Hiring Manager and was asked very basic questions. What my strengths and weaknesses were, why I wanted to work there, etc. She also gave me customer service scenarios.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Flagstaff, AZ (took 2 days)
It was pretty easy, group interview with about 4 other people. He asked us some stuff about Vans like when they were first started and who they target. Gave us scenarios, like if you could up-sell a product to a customer what would it be? I said socks, belts hats ,or t-shirts. Then he just got to know us and told us more about the company. The best advice i could give is to be outgoing and charasmatic for sure.
