I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Signet Jewelers in Jan 2008
Interview
The interview process is chaotic. You interview with the staff you walk in with (they are judging you, respond to them, don't blow them off, and don't waste their time if they don't want it wasted. As soon as you walk in your more of a mark than anything else), the manager of the store, and the district manager. Any of these can probably doom you. To get in good with the staff, fill out a credit application. It's not required (you can say you already have one!), but thats the trick to make it to the top of the application list. You'll take personality screening before you can even be interviewed, and then expect 2 hours at least face to face one on one with role-play for the job.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Do you have any jewelry on? How would you sell me that.
I interviewed at Signet Jewelers (Douglasville, GA)
Interview
Applied online, called their location to follow up after a few days and was asked if I had brought my resume in for review. I had not received any communication from them, so I wasn't aware this was a step they required applications to do. When I asked the best time of day to come in, the woman laughed and told me to "figure it out."
The questions were easy and very general interview questions, first with store manager then a personality test that you need to get good marks then they call you to offer the job and best time to apply is September that they start hiring for Christmas and you can get a permanent position
Generally easy good natured interview. If you have good customer service skills it’s a breeze. Come armed with good examples of your experience and they do a role play example.
