I applied online. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
The interview was very calm, it honestly felt more like a casual conversation than any kind of screening process. I currently have no prior work experience, so we spent a good part of the interview talking about my time in high school (they did ask if I had a high school diploma, which is probably a given but my friend's parents were surprised to hear that lol).
We went over company policies, luckily I spent a good hour checking out Luxxotica online (there are a few good Forbes articles about the sunglass industry, having that kinda knowledge beforehand probably isn't required but it DEFINITELY helps), so I was able to answer the more business-oriented questions pretty easily.
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.

Question 1
Was there ever a time where you had to deal with a difficult customer?
Phone (asked about availability, location & if I wanted full time/part time) then in person. Asked simple scenario questions about how I handled conflict and describe how I would sell stuff.

It really depends on your manager as there’s no specific set guidelines. Generally easy questions and basic questions regarding sales. I’ve helped my manager come up with scenarios on top of some easy basic questions.
