I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Dillard's (Dallas, TX) in May 2011
Interview
I got the job because I knew somebody who met me and wanted me to work for her department. I met the store manager two days later and had a one-on-one interview with her. She was extremely polite and asked a lot of personality questions. There was more emphasis on how I would fit with the culture of Dillard's, than my actual skills. The people seemed happy, but a bit tense, but I thought nothing of it. It wasn't until about two to three months of actually working at the job that I realized that the hunches I got from the people I ran into were right.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Think of a time that you were able to deal with a difficult customer.
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.
