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 Mar 2011 in Spartanburg, SC (took a day)
The manager was very professional and easy to talk to. She asked questions about Loss Prevention and sales. She asked me about what I would do if a customer wasn't happy the way her return was handled and things like that. I went on a second interview and they made me the offer and I accepted.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Westland, MI (took 1 week)
I went into Wet Seal at Westland Mall & asked for an application. I took it home, and filled it out. The next day, I dropped it off with my resume. The next day, I was asked to come in for an interview that weekend. I dressed professional, and was 5 minutes early. The interview was out in the hall way on a bench which I felt was very unprofessional, for one, I couldn't hear anything she was saying half the time because the manager sat on the very end and there were 5 applicants altogether. She asked about our past experience in retail and customer service, asked us how would we take care of a dissatisfied customer, and asked us about our education. What I thought was weird was that all of the other applicants were wearing attire I would have NEVER thought to wear for a interview: mini-skirts, low tops, and flip flops. The interview lasted about 15 minutes from start to finish. I was not offered a position for this company.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
It wasn't anything bad. The manager and I had a 1:1 interview and then a phone interview. Standard, routine questions. She was really friendly though which put me more at ease.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Kissimmee, FL (took 2 days)
The Interview was really easy and very comfortable. My first interview was 1:1 with the manager then I had a group interview with the assistant manager. They were really friendly. I dressed casual but professional.
The question they asked were common sense questions like:
-What do you do if you see an employee stealing?
-Why did you choose Wet Seal?
-How do you feel about styling people?
-How do you handle an irritated customer?

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Daly City, CA (took 3 days)
The interview itself was very laidback and very casual. I went on a Saturday to pick up an application, dropped it off on Sunday, got asked to come back on Monday for an interview, went to that interview, got asked to do a second interview on Tuesday. 4 Days in a row at a mall is not fun, but if you need a job, you'll do anything.
The employees were really friendly, unlike a lot of other places. They explained everything to me and even told me who the hiring manager was, just in case I wanted to make a good first impression before the interview started.
It started with two of the assistant managers, one after the other, so that's two interviews in one day. They were both nice and friendly. After that, they said we should come tomorrow to have an interview with the actual manager.
She was really nice too. She gave us a lot of time to think about our answers, and at the end, she explained the policies. In the middle of the interview, she actually gave us hints on how to answer the next problem. She was super friendly.

Minimum wage was $8. On my application, I said I wanted $10-15, and they offered me $9. Not a big change, but eh. It's still something.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
This was my first interview and it was a group interview as well, so it was a bit intimidating at first. Four girls, including me, in the interview. We were interviewed by the manager and I think the assistant manager.
I honestly thought the interview would center around fashion and how we keep up with trends, but I was wrong. They gave us some scenarios that would occur in the workplace and how we'd deal with them. Asked about teamwork, experience, flexibility, basically how skilled are we in working in retail.
For my interview, I wore a skirt, a blouse, a cardigan, and wedges, along with accessories. It's not an interview where you need to wear a blazer or anything, I'd keep it on the dressier side, but trendy. If you can before the interview, observe what the workers are wearing.
The ladies that interviewed us were really nice. Group interviews are a bit overwhelming, you want to show that you're outspoken, yet you don't want to be rude by interrupting people. Honestly, just try to be outspoken without being rude haha. And if you're not the first to answer, make it up by adding more quality in your responses to the questions, since you'll have more time to think clearly anyway.
Ask a lot of questions at the end of the interview, such as the dress code for work, the discount, basically anything regarding the activities of the store. It shows that you're really interested in working.

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.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Lexington, KY (took a day)
The new store was not open yet and there was a job fair being held in Arden B. I just walked in and filled out an application and got an interveiw on the spot. It was not nerve wrecking at all considering that the store manager thinks thought that she was 20 years younger than she was and she was very entertaining.
