I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (New York, NY)
Interview
Met with a friendly person, started with some small talk about my past, taste in fashion, knowledge of the brand the collections featured in store, got asked the basic questions such as why i was fit for the position, my goals for the future, salary etc. Was promised to get taught extensive knowledge in order to grow with the company which were sadly not met.

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.
