Our goal is to identify the candidate that best "fits" the available position. While your education and qualifications are very important, your overall “fit” is most important. “Fit” is when a candidate has a blend of skills, knowledge, abilities, behaviours and values essential for the role. At Nexen, we use Behaviour Descriptive Interviewing methods, which allow interviewers to receive information more thoroughly, fairly and accurately. During the interview, you are empowered to ask questions, gather information and also determine if Nexen is a good “fit” for you

I applied online. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Burbank, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The process was really smooth with the manager. They essential asked a couple things about myself and gave a run down about the company. They also let me know some things about themselves and about the team they have already.
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.
