I interviewed at Urban Outfitters

Interview

I had a nice chat, but considering it's just a part-time retail job, I think they take it too serious. Had 3 interviews and questions like they hire for a management position.

Interview

The recruiter for NUULY (their partner company) is awfully rude. Bad experience! No questions even asked. She likes to ignore follow up then sends a rejection email. Low value company. They are looking for under-qualified people.

First round was through an automated interview website with timed questions and you were given a deadline to finish the interview. I had never done that before so I wasn’t the most prepared but had I researched more questions I would’ve felt more comfortable.

Interview

HireVue interview platform asks general questions and you have 2 minutes to prepare then talk for 3 minutes about your answer. It allows one re-take per question. Felt stressful to be put on the spot with the questions asked, especially because the time 3 minutes is quite long for answering a question like "why are you interested?"

Senior Graphic Designer

Hello all- I have a question. Context: I've completed a four-stage interview process for a design position at a large retail corp. The final interview on Nov 15 went very well! I sent thank-you notes that week and last holiday week sent flowers and an edible arrangement, thanking and asking about next steps. They said they have been busy + will reach out soon. It's almost been two weeks. They have been so eager the entire process and now it's quiet. Should I email them again? Is this normal?
