I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The RealReal (Brisbane, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter by email who set up a brief phone interview with me two days later. I found that this brief interview was way more in depth and specific than the actual in person interview. It was really difficult to hear her over the phone so I found myself asking her to repeat her questions. She was really sweet though, and after the interview she told me that I would be a good candidate for the position and then she scheduled and in person interview with the photography manager. When i went to the in person interview, he gave me a tour around the facilities and explained how every aspect of the production worked (took about 30 mins) and then we went into a room to briefly discuss my resume and experience. Then got a call two days later after all the HR paperwork was filed and was told I got the job.

Interview
It was a group interview where you tour the premises. There are multiple stands with mannequins that have to be styled by the staff and you just have to put the clothes on to take the pictures.

Interview
Interviewer was 15 minutes late to the interview, didn't know my name or have my resumè. If you're looking to actually work with cameras, don't bother. It's just a manual labor warehouse job, not much to actually do with photography. Wish I knew that before I wasted my time. Job description was pretty misleading. Definitely interview elsewhere.
