I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Carlsbad, CA)
Interview
Basic back office interview. Asked normal questions, how dealt with busy times etc. The manager told me about all the great opportunities she had through the company. Talked about my school and career goals, experience in fashion, etc. and why victoria's secret. Pretty easy overall and manager was very friendly. I wore black but a step above what the girls normally wear. It was a very casual interview and I preferred it to a group interview (which I experienced at Banana Republic.) They do check references by phone and called me when they had a hard time getting ahold of mine.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2025
Interview
I applied online and then received a text message inviting me to attend a group interview the next day. There were over fifteen candidates, and we each took turns answering the questions. At the end of the session, we were informed on the spot who had been selected.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and what’s customer experience?
Give two adjectives your peers would use to describe you, and why.
Tell me about a time you received feedback and how it helped you improve your performance.
Short & casual: Usually one short interview — sometimes even a group one.
No trick questions: They ask about your availability, personality, and customer service attitude.
Fast decisions: Especially during busy seasons, they often hire on the spot or within a few days.
Experience helps: Since you’ve worked seasonal before, you already know how the process goes — and that’s a big plus.

Interview
The interview was smooth and breezy, felt more like a conversation. The manager was super good and didn’t make me feel nervous. He asked casual questions that made him get to know me, that’s all.
