I applied online. I interviewed at Express (El Cajon, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
It was a group interview with one other person. There was supposed to be another girl there but she came late so the manager didn't let her join. The guy that was with me was super cool and we got along well which was good in front of the manager. When we took turns answering, we kind of bounced off of each other/agreed with each other and added on to what the other was saying. We didn't answer the questions as if it was a competition. She was really easy going and didn't make the interview seem super serious. She laughed with us and let us ask questions at the end. Overall, it was pretty easy and good. It took about an hour. When I came in, I told an associate that I was here for an interview and the manager showed up about five minutes later and brought us to the back with her. I got a call with an offer about an hour after the interview.
I first applied online, and then I got an interview date and time, and then I went into the location for the interview. After that I just waited for a little bit of time and then I was sent an offer that I signed
Applied online, interviewed in person the next day. Interview was basically a vibe check. More important to apply during peak season (early spring or early fall) when they're hiring the most. Make sure you have availability on the weekend.
Easy and straight forward interview. They ask for your availability and if have fashion experience. Also, asks about previous sales and customer service experience. The job itself is not hard at all.
