kate spade Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)

An employee from a local Kate Spade called me within a few days after I had submitted my resume online. She arranged an interview for the upcoming weekend and it was just a brief (30 min.) one on one interview. If you didn't fill out an application at the store, you will have to do it when you arrive for the interview. Since I didn't seem too enthusiastic about working at Kate Spade specifically (I just applied through Craigslist), it hurt me in the short run. I wanted to work a stock position in retail, but because I showed a lack of interest in working at Kate Spade verses somewhere else, my answers were not as strong as they could have been. I also did not want to do both stock and sales, but I should have anticipated the responsibility regardless (b/c only a few people are staffed during a shift). I would recommend showing passion about working at K.S. if you really want the job. I also did not know too much about the company because I don't shop there, so it was my fault for not doing enough research. The interview process as a whole was pretty standard and casual (the questions, not the dress attire!).
