Zumiez Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I applied at zumiez online and a week later got a call from the manager. We did a phone interview than I was invited to the group interview. There were about 9-10 other people, they asked some questions and then we partnered up and introduced our partners. We also had to come up with a bunch of open ended questions and read off our best one. We were than told the 6 c's and had to grab a clothing item and describe it using the 6 c's. Even though I missed one I was still offered the job. We were all there for almost 2 hours, it was pretty fun tho. Stay confident, smile, and make them laugh.

Interview Details – I came in and interviewed with two of the lower level employees. They asked basic questions but most importantly they want to gauge your interest as to how much you are truly into the lifestyle. This I believe, plays a big role on whether or not you get to the next interview. I interviewed three times before accepting the offer, each interview emphasized again, the interest in the culture and a few technical questions about Excel here or there.

Interview Details – Getting an interview came pretty quick after applying. It was a group interview though which surprised me, and by group i mean 12-15 people! They made us get into 2 groups and we had to come up with a team name and song and answer questions together.

Interview Details – I applied online, and got a call back about 2 months after for a group interview. The manager told me to wear what I would wear to work for the first day. The group interview was after the store had closed and they made us wait outside for about 20 minutes after the schedule interview time. They brought us inside, having us empty our pockets (probably as a precaution). The interview itself was only about 30 minutes. The 2 managers had us go around in a circle, say our names, and 2 hobbies. Then we had a speed round of teams of where we were given a subject and had to ask questions that the customer could not answer in yes/no form (i.e. How are you today?). After we were asked to find 2 items in the store and use the "5C"s to sell them to the managers. We were then given paper and pens to write a letter to the head manager of why we wanted this job and why we were perfect for it. The vibe of the store was a bit different and if you don't look like them, you pretty much didn't get a job. The store is based solely on looks and acting out to get compensation.

Interview Details – I applied online and about a week later got called in for a group interview scheduled for a week after that. .
I wore skinny jeans, shin high boots, a black t-sirt and a colored blazer.
The interview was really fun, just speak your mind, be comfortable with the people around you and Make Them Laugh. I'm pretty sure because I did exactly that, that is the only reason I got the job. You have to make them WANT to work with you. Be memorable.
We stood in a group and introduced ourselves. Then did a few sales based activities. For example we had to hold a conversation by asking open ended questions. Things like Do you.. or Did you... are yes or no questions and will get make you lose the game.
We also had to find something in the store and try to sell it to the people interviewing you. Make sure you know the brands!

Interview Details – Environment: laid back, relaxed, and fun
Customers: actions sports, music, and urban lifestyle
Know your gear and know your customer. Be driven but not overbearing.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I asked for "x" amount and they countered it with $9.50 (final offer).

Interview Details – Two phone interviews with two individuals and then one on-site interview

Interview Details – I did not get interviewed at all. I walked in and was talking to the store manager and she asked me if i needed a job and it went from there, with no interview at all.

Interview Details – It took a long time for my application to be looked over by through hiring manager at zumiez. I stayed persistent, I called to see if he looked over it and even mementioned it every time I was shopping in the store. I'd say about two months after submitting my application I finally got a call asking if I was still interested because they were doing interviews. I said that I was and he explained that it'd be a group interview and that I needed to make up a super hero name, and what power I possessed. The day of the interview there were about eight of us. We went around explaining who we were (super hero wise), we drew pictures of our favorite foods and passed em around in the circle for others to explain, and finally, we were put into groups of 3-4 and told to make up a rap about selling clothes in the store. Overall other was a fun interview and of course they ask the basic questions about you and why you want to work there. Just go in to your interview prepared to have fun and be as outgoing as possible because that's what they're looking for.
