      Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 24, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Dallas, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Talbots (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      I picked up an application, filled it out and returned it the next day. I received follow up calls and we found a date for me to come in. Process was not unusual. I was very motivated to get the job. There was a brief tour of the store as we made our way back to the interviewing area. Very relaxed atmosphere. I felt that the interview was geared more toward me and if I would be a good fit for the store and the team. It was not interrogative. Everybody was smiling, genuinely. Was asked about my strengths and weaknesses. I have a Master's degree that is not retail related. I had been a stay at home mom for 20 years and was eager to re-enter the workforce in a positive environment. In a place that helped Customers/clients leave with a positive attitude and feeling better about themselves. As I was leaving the interview, dressed very professionally, the manager said "don't wear those shoes to work (with a smile), oh, you're hired"
