I applied in-person. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Chicago, IL) in June 2009
Interview
The interviewer is usually very perceptive. You MUST be fashion forward. You will be asked about their brands and how much you know about the company. My interviewer told me she hired me because she liked that my nails were freshly manicured. Most likely it will be a group interview so you need to stand out and be confident! Seem enthusiastic and willing to contribute. Be ready to answer what fashion means to you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We were asked what brands did some of our products seem to be a knockoff of (in this case it was some flats that resembled Betsy Johnson's line)
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
