After reviewing applicants interested in available positions, hiring personnel contacts the most eligible workers and invites qualifying individuals in for job interviews. If an applicant arrives to find a group interview format in place, the worker might expect to sit with at least one other and up to 10 or 15 fellow candidates for the position. The time applicants choose to interview during the day may affect whether job hopefuls run into group interviews during the hiring process. During group interviews, applicants respond, in open discussion, to prompts about personal interests and other aspects of fashion and retail. Job seekers who exude outgoing, personable, and motivated personalities often gain the attention of hiring managers. Demonstrating knowledge of company history and current merchandise for sale also benefits prospective associates. Common Interview Questions Like group interviews, one-on-one interviews gauge applicant knowledge of company history and product lines as well as customer service skills, personality traits, communication skills, and interests in working for the retailer.

Choose a more structured blazer to wear for an interview to ensure your outfit looks sharp. TROUSERS If dresses and skirts aren't your style, try a nice pair of trousers or pants. These trousers are perfect for an interview setting because the color is neutral and the pattern adds a lot of personality. These pants pack some serious style, but aren't too loud for a conservative environment. Additional Tips When it comes to nailing an interview, the most important thing to remember is confidence. Nobody knows you better than, well, you! The hiring manager will believe you're confident as long as you act that way. This is true even if you have butterflies in your stomach!
