A close acquaintance who worked there referred me to openings in the store. I applied online, it took me a few days to finish, (I was on and off about it) but the day i submitted the application, I received an automatic email a few minutes later, telling me to call the number and schedule an interview, (and additional information). I called and spoke to the manager. We scheduled to meet up the very next day at 2:00 pm, and I thanked him and told him I was looking forward to it.
I arrived to the interview 10 minutes early. I introduced myself to an employee, then asked to speak to the Manager. She walked me over to him, I thanked her, and proceeded to introduce myself to the Manager. I told him I had an interview with him, and he told me to wait a couple minutes while he printed out my application. I took the time to introduce myself to the Assistant-Manager as well, who was standing near-by. They all seemed very nice and welcoming. After about 5 minutes he walked back out and told me to follow him towards the back-corner of the store. (Interviews are held, on sales floor.) He asked me to tell me about myself (I went over my college life, past work/volunteer experience, my hobbies/past-times, etc.) Then he asked me a few things along the lines of, "Why do you want to work at Buckle?" "What interests you in fashion?" "How do you keep up with fashion?" "What are your strengths/weaknesses?" etc. Afterwards, he asked me, if I had any questions for him. I took the opportunity to ask "how a typical day at Buckle looked like." He responded with enthusiasm and in great detail, explained his love for building values, relationships and character into his employees. This let me know that he took his job seriously. I could tell he would be a fun, laid back boss, but at the same time, a serious, business orientated, "get the work done" type of guy. An equal balance of the two.
After that, he said that I would receive a phone call within 48 hours. So the duration of the interview was about 10-15 minutes. I got a call the very next day. He offered the job opportunity to me, and asked when I could stop by to get additional information, in preparation. I told him that I would be available to come by in an hour and a half. From there, he explained a few more things, (including an upcoming team meeting that I should attend) and emailed me some online paperwork.
