Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage with a stressful situation with a customer?
It was just normal process with basic questions and scenarios. Interviewer was very nice and they made the interview comfortable while asking the questions. It was good experience while giving interview there.
Pretty simple, should only be 1 interview to hear if you'll get hired or not. You'll sit with a store manager and ask basic retail questions and personal questions about yourself like when you dealt with tough situations and how you're a team player. A lot about how you'll be dealing with customers etc.
