I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kate Spade New York (Calgary, AB) in Jul 2022
Interview
I was reached by another store manger/recruiter. I expressed my interest in the position and we proceeded to set up an interview. The first interview with the same recruiter went really well, I was interested to continue the process and we set up a second interview with District Manager. They didn’t call me on the agreed date and time and I had to reach out back to my first contact. As I found out, the district manger had some travel issues and couldn’t call. We rebooked the second interview. It was less positive than the first meeting and I didn’t feel any interest from a hiring manager. They asked me just regular questions except one - what do you know about Kate Spade, who was she, why she is famous and etc. it sounded like I had to know her whole biography…
Anyways, at the end of the interview I was told that I will be contacted back with the results and next steps if I proceed further.
Well, I haven’t been contacted since, and it’s been over a month already.
I interviewed at Kate Spade New York (Jersey City, NJ)
Interview
Three indepth interviews. All with different managers. Very challenging to try to answer similar questions and not use the same examples. First two were very fair minded, last interview was more of a challenge due to the last manager seeming to have a different candidate already chosen.
Initially reached out via email. Zoom call with DM. Pretty straightforward, asking the typical generic questions. She was not very genuine, but rather came across superficial. Overall I did not feel comfortable with her interview style.
