The interview was informal, and was more of a conversation discussing the role. The interviewer was mostly looking for whether I would be able to talk to customers in a friendly manner, and whether I can work in busy environments.
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.
