I applied online. I interviewed at Dillard's (San Angelo, TX) in May 2013
Interview
I applied online to work at Dillards and two days later they called me to set up an interview time which took place two days later. When I showed up for the interview I had no idea that I was going to be doing two interviews in the same day but I just went with it. I had two interviews with two store managers. The first one just asked me when I was able to start working, my availability, and why did I apply at Dillards. The second interview was with another store manager and she just asked me the same thing. We just discussed hours, my availability, why did I apply and my school. The interview was more of a "tell me about yourself" kind of thing. Both store managers were super nice and laid back which made all the process much easier and comfortable. My favorite thing was they are really flexible with your hours and your school. Their willing to work around your school schedule so you can get your time in for your education
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing difficult just when can you work, and why did you apply.
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.
