I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Laval, QC) in Apr 2019
Interview
It was 2 group interviews, one with the hiring manager and another one with the general manager. They both asked us questions about our previous work experience, ourselves and what we consider good customer service.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Give an example of good customer service that you have received at a store besides Victoria Secret
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.
