I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tillys (Sacramento, CA) in May 2011
Interview
Called 8 people to the interviewing room, asking a series of questions. Whoever answered first looked the best. Once interviews were done, we were asked to stand outside and wait to be called in and then told if we got the job or not.

Question 1
What is the difference between selling and service?
It was held as a group interview, fairly easy. The hardest part was the sales pitch for an item in the store. Everyone in the group answered the same questions one at a time. There were around 6-8 people in each group.
Super calm and friendly! Felt like such a nice conversation and felt like I was part of the team already, they really listened to me. I felt like they wanted me to succeed and I did!

Question 1
If an item isn’t selling, how would you ensure it did?
Occurred in a group setting. I always recommend being very respectful, do not speak over others, but when you can add after another interviewees turn, try to include your own response.
