I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Ottawa, ON) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very quick; took about 15 minutes. I applied in person, spoke to the manager. The next day she called me for an interview. Found out the following day that I got the job.
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.

Question 1
Was there ever a time where you had to deal with a difficult customer?
Phone (asked about availability, location & if I wanted full time/part time) then in person. Asked simple scenario questions about how I handled conflict and describe how I would sell stuff.

Interview
It really depends on your manager as there’s no specific set guidelines. Generally easy questions and basic questions regarding sales. I’ve helped my manager come up with scenarios on top of some easy basic questions.
