Interviewed Apr 2012 in Winston Salem, NC (took a day)
The interview I had was VERY unorganized. When I arrived a few minutes early the manager was "out of it" and couldn't find my resume ( I brought extras). They broke the rules and interviewed me outside the store, which was fine since the A/C was broken. Both managers asked me a ton or random questions, both at different times. I was told that the regional manager wasn't even aware of them interviewing, which made me think "why am I here?". It's been 3 weeks and I 've heard nothing.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
I had worked for the current store manager as her assistant at another company. She wanted me to relocate with her to Wet Seal as her assistant and possibly future Co. Since she knew me she couldn't interview me. I was told to call the DD at a particular time for a phone interview. She asked me questions about my previous employment, loss pervention, customer service, team leadership, and what I could bring to the company. She instructed me to visit any wet seal in my area and "secret shop." After I completed this task I was to email her with my thoughts of the store and how it was run. I emailed my thoughts and she called me back the same day. We discussed salary at which she gave a terrible offer that I declined. She offered another pay that I accepted. The following week I started at Wet Seal.

Negotiation Details
Wet Seal underpays their employees. Definately aim high so that they will offer you something decent. Don't settle; dds get a bonus if they keep new hires in a certain pay bracket.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Leawood, KS (took 3 days)
I saw a post of craigs list. I responded by sending my resume, received email that day, went to the store and filled out an app and background check. That day I had a phone interview with the DM, was offered the position by 8pm that night. I was qualified, so it was easy.
