I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tillys (Glendora, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was offered the job because a friend of mine had already been working their for a few months and they needed to hire a few more people. I went in and filled out an application, then was asked to come back in a few days later to do an interview with the store manager. The interview was short (about 10 minutes) and I was offered the job on the spot.

Question 1
In the interview I was asked questions about previous jobs, my work ethic, some words that would describe myself, what my personal style was, and how I would deal with certain situations like theft or customer harassment.
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.
