I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at francesca's (Rocky River, OH) in July 2016
Interview
Simple, brief discussion with friendly store manager. She asked basic experience & goals questions that you would expect. She was sweet and the interview went quickly. The offer came within the day.
Pretty fast, it started with a phone call and then in person interview. After the interview in-person, you are onboarded fast and watch some training videos. After that, you are on the floor and also trained on the register.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much or if I had any experience working retail
One on one interview, asked general questions for retail. I did notice that they are interested in availability more than anything. Had a portion in the end with fake scenarios.
It was an easy process and straightforward. The questions are about what the job entails to see if you would be a good fit. The interview was with the store manager.
