I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Tuscaloosa, AL) in Feb 2013
Interview
I came in on 2/1/2013 and asked for an application. I brought it back in yesterday (2/4/2013). The manager was already doing interviews that day and wanted to squeeze me in so she told me to come back at 3 p.m. for an interview. It was a group interview with about 5 of us total. We went around and answered basic questions about customer service, our work experience and what to do in certain scenarios. The interview lasted about 45 minutes. I got a call today offering me the position and accepted. I start training in less than 2 weeks!
Note: They did check my references!
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you witness someone doing something wrong. What did you do?
Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
