I applied online. I interviewed at RH (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online, the whole process took about 2 weeks. I was contacted via email to schedule an over the phone interview. The interview was easy and short, she told me to come to the gallery to meet in person. The second interview was in a group setting with two RH employees in a sort of conversational setting, where they asked questions about me then talked about the store. The conversation evolved organically and some questions derived from the conversation it self.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RH (Newport Beach, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
They were very welcoming and kind. I applied for Design Assistant, but she said I’d be a better fit for Consultant. After 2 interviews and declining, she mentioned the Design Assistant may be a better fit after all. I honestly think they just needed consultants.
