I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Clarks (Glendale, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview felt both formal and informal. The manager made a lot of assumptions about me and said, "I assume you know a lot about shoes?" to which I replied, "Yes, I love shoes!" which is true. He seemed to want to know more about me but I'm not sure if it mattered overall. He sort of explained how things go in the store, but there weren't a lot of details. I asked questions about the sales quota and the manager assured me that the stress of making the sales quota would not be put onto me but would be a goal we all strived for but did not have to absolutely meet.

Question 1
How would you respond to a customer who wanted to come in to the store but the store capacity had already been reached?
A short phone call took place where the person asked a series of simple, straightforward, and basic questions, mainly to gather quick information without going into much detail or complexity.
group interview, was tasked to speak to the other people and then had to sell a shoe to interviewer, asked if we had any questions and then it was over
The interview was a group Q&A session with 4 other candidates. They described the role first, then opened the floor for us to ask questions. Very straightforward and low pressure.
