I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gilly Hicks (Schaumburg, IL)
Interview
Pre-req's: come to the interview wearing clothing as close to the current AAA's (employee uniforms) as possible. If you're unsure, your best bet is something similar to dark-wash jeans, a fancy white tank, and flip flops or neutral chucks. If you were recruited, you will more than likely be hired. The hiring process is heavily based on your looks, honestly.
Group interview: simple. The manager asks questions and you answer. Be FRIENDLY. SMILEY. They love them bubbly associates.
Questions asked were things like, "How would you describe yourself?" (outgoing, friendly, organized) "How would your friends describe you? (personable, agreeable)"How would you describe the company?" (comfy, classy) "What is diversity to you?" (being different) "Why is it important?" (we want to reach out to everyone!) "Tell me a time you helped an unsatisfied customer"
When they ask you if you have any questions for them at the end, it's always great to ask them what they love about working at the company.
I heard back from the manager a day after my interview, but it can take up to a month for them to contact you, I've heard.
Good luck!
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Gilly Hicks (Honolulu, HI)
Interview
I was recruited at my University campus prior to going to the interview. Before going to the interview you go online and choose a time slot which fits your schedule. The interview was conducted as a group. There were two managers who conducted the interview together. The asked a few pretty basic questions and everyone took turns answering the questions. I wasn't a fan of the group interview since it just seemed like everyone repeated what the previous person said. If you want to stand out, you should try to come up with a more unique response.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gilly Hicks
Interview
group interview at the food court. they have a paper to read off from and jot down your answers. You have a higher chance of scoring the interview if you fit the model's image and smile alot. Overall, I had a good experience chatting with the managers and the interviewees.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gilly Hicks
Interview
The interview was a group interview, where they ask you questions like "what does diversity mean to you?" Overall, the interview is easy and the questions are more about your personality. They don't particularly care if you have experience, but more of if you are a "good fit" and can represent the Gilly style. Basically be happy, smily, super friendly, and cute.
