I interviewed at Hobbs

Interview

Easy going, casual, friendly. The interviewer was very accommodating, friendly, and encouraging. She made me feel at ease and felt like no answer was a wrong answer. There were a few questions relating to the current situation, what you expect from the role, and what experience you have that will help you in this role. There was then a practical part where you had to select a few outfits for a 'headmaster at a conservative school'.

The staff was very nice and the whole process was very comfortable. In particular, the staff reminded me that I had not received a follow-up notice of the job application within a week, and I could do it in person.

It was a quick conversation, I wasn't asked much. We just went through what the job would entail day to day. I think it was more to get to know the personalities of the people being interviewed

Start with casual chatting, an introduction about the shop, and talking about your experience. It ended up engaging with the customers in the shop. It was like doing the actual job without much training.

Easy Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hobbs (New York, NY) in Jul 2022

Interview

I had scheduled a phone screening with them, they missed it. I no longer wanted to move forward they texted me to; I agreed. We had a phone interview. Next step was in person. They accommodated me and had one scheduled far out in advance; asking me to take PTO to expedite it. I went to the in person interview. Then they wanted me to go in person to headquarters in Connecticut after meeting them where the job would be, in New York. No mention of compensation or if I had the job. DO NOT CONTINUE WITH THEM UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO DO AT LEAST THREE INTERVIEWS, TRAVEL AT LEAST TWO TIMES - THE SECOND TIME BEING AT LEAST TWO AND A HALF HOURS.

Interview Questions
  • Why are you leaving your current employer? What do you do in day to day? What are you looking for? Are you interested in next steps?

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hobbs

Interview

Never heard back from the recruiter after a final stage interview. Was disappointing to get to the end of the process and not even receive a email to notify me that they decided to go for the other person even after several attempts to contact them.

Accountant

I'm currently in a job (< 3 months) that I plan on leaving out (background, resume, mentions during interview) but one common question is "when can you start?" I don't want to tell them about my 90-day stay (very toxic, looking for an out), but don't want to find myself in a bind down the road either (picked up by background check, needing extra time to start so I can give my 2 weeks, etc.) My prior job was 9 months long and don't want to be a job hopper either so a little stuck here.

QC Specialist II

When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.
