I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Athleta (Cleveland, OH) in May 2015
Interview
Interviewer really took the time to get to know me and my passions and knowledge of fitness. I really appreciate that. Met with assistant store manager and store manager. Heard back in about 3 days. Show enthusiasm for fitness and empowering women to be their best self. Supporting the brand and being behind the Athleta mission will get you the job! Try and know their competitors and what makes them different. Also, I was asked to sell what I was wearing and then in store, with the store manager, I had pick out an outfit for a common customer, which I think was an active mother attending a yoga class.
Easy customer service questions was not hard at all got offered the job right away. They were very nice and answered All my questions about pto salary. One of the questions were like how would I handle difficult situations and have I handled like merchandising?
really straightforward, all questions were common behavioral questions such as past work experience, and how you handle situations. Hiring manager interviewed me and lasted only 30 minutes. you should'nt have any difficulty.
