I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut (Atlanta, GA) in May 2014
Interview
The process was pretty simple and straight forward. I submitted my resume in person to the store manager and received a phone call about 2 days later to schedule an interview. The manager was really friendly and outgoing and the interview was pretty conversational. He asked standard questions (Tell me about a time...). Following the interview I scheduled my interview with the center manager (the manager of all the locations in the mall I applied). My interview with her was awesome! She interviewed me along with the new store supervisor, both were extremely friendly and fun. I was again asked standard questions, but we often got off topic, cracking jokes and sharing stories. I was offered a position on the spot, pending my clear background check. Th background check took about a 1.5 weeks to come back.

Question 1
None. All standard. But I would advise you to be somewhat aware of luxury brands because both interviewers asked me about my favorite brands/stores.
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.
