I applied online. I interviewed at Madewell (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
They asked me a questions while they viewed my resume. They are really nice and informative about their brand and how some of their pieces have been transitioning into Fair Trade. Nothing bad to say, it was just not the right fit for me.

They just asked you to talk about yourself and more about the experience you have. They go more into detail by giving you scenarios on how you would deal with a customer.
