This is my first time applying for a seasonal sales associate job. Interview was pretty simple mostly customer service questions and also received an offer for $16/hr which is pretty low.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Madewell (Paramus, NJ) in Sep 2023
Interviewed at GSP Madewell. The interviewer took out a whole binder and asked me like 15 questions and read directly from the binder each time. Took a long time and did not feel like a conversation. Interviewer kept asking the same wordy questions throughout the interview. Not necessarily difficult, but it was way too long and asked way too many questions for a PT job.
- What are 3 questions you would ask to figure out my personal style? How would you put together an outfit for me and what stores would you recommend?
