I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dillard's in Jan 2010
Interview
You go in an use their computer to fill out all your information. At the end there is a questionnaire that you fill it, it takes a little more than 30 min. They ask a bunch of questions that rate your personality type. If you make it in the range that they are looking for, then a sales manager looks at your application. If they want you for their area, they call you back for a 1:1 interview. They asked basic interview questions. If they like you, they will tell the assistant store manager, and then you will get called back for a second interview. Some locations vary a little but for the most part this is the process they follow.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There wasn't any difficult questions asked, They were basic interview questions such as where you see yourself in 5 years, name a time you showed good customer service, etc
Standard interview, quite short (20 minutes) for the first round. Asked about past experience, sales skills, expected pay, and my future goals at the company. Interviewers were very nice and welcoming, made the experience much less intimidating!
Not sure what to expect. When I spoke to the manager it felt very condescending and off putting. The interview was fine but they exaggerated the amount of commission associates can make and didn’t even give me a chance to agree to a job offer just assumed that I would take it. I don’t have very high hopes about how it will be working there. When I came in for my interview one associate didn’t even greet me like she did the last customer and the energy of the atmosphere just felt super dull and soulless. I need this job on my resume as a fashion business student for internships so I’ll push through but not at all optimistic about the work environment.
Easy, few job related questions. schedual flexability. Shifts avilabiltys, days and holidays avilabilitys. Your job rolle, expectation, traning, education, refrences. Work history and reson for chosing the store. It is a simple easy procces,more like meet and greet.
