I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Madewell (Edina, MN) in May 2019
Interview
I applied online and got a call the same day asking to come in for an interview. I interviewed with the hiring manager at a cafe area outside the store. The whole interview was extremely friendly and basic, it only lasted about 15 minutes. The questions were mostly about myself, my style and why I want to work at Madewell, and retail experience. I understand why I may not have got the job, but I am disappointed that the hiring manager completely ghosted me after the interview- would not call me to update me on hiring process or let me know I did not get the job and would not call me back when I called the store (it has been multiple weeks since the interview and still not even an email).

Question 1
Describe a time you had to deal with a difficult customer and what you did?
Contacted via phone to organise time in person. I was taken into the office and had a series of questions asked. A practicle situation was roleplayed. Easy process, manager was good.
I applied on LinkedIn and received a phone call to set up an interview. I met with a manager in person and answered a few questions about my background, customer service experience, and personal style.
