I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at J. Crew (Hanover, MD) in Mar 2010
Interview
Got a callback promptly from an employee. Interview was the following week. It was a little disorganized, mainly because the store had just opened. I had to fill out my application in the dressing room because there was no room, and my interview was in a little corner of the dressing room area because the office was messy. Overall the interview was good. My interviewer was really nice, and only asked me one real question, "What do you like about J.Crew"? That was easy for me to answer because I love their clothes and shopping. She asked me about my schedule. And then told me there would be a background check. I probably didn't get the job because I have no retail experience. But it was one of the best interviews I have been on.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at J. Crew (Grand Prairie, TX)
Interview
Lovely interview with the then assistant manager. Just connect showing your bubbly personality and talk maturely about your former job experience.
It ran for about 30-35 mins yet felt as if time flew by due to great conversation.
Great retail job. Requires alot of connecting with customers, even styling them in the fit rooms. But also remember EVERYONES EXPERIENCE is different
Easy, Basic Questions with the store manager. Just ask about previous experience and your availability. Why you want to work there. Met with the store manager and asked questions outside of the store.
the interview was entirely behavioral and very casual/conversational. mostly just how you would handle customer interactions and selling the credit card. i would highly recommend working there and interviewing. very similar to other retail interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how comfortable are you with selling a credit card at checkout and how would you go about it?
