Interview
Tilly's opened in a vacant venue in our mall, and needed to hire a large staff to assist setting the store up. They first set a small Group/Panel Interview of you and 14 other applicants and called you about an hour later to tell if you to come back for the second interview. The point of this interview is to be assertive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The second interview was composed of 75 of us and we did activities and played games. It's easy to pass: Just be the most involved, the loudest, and most memorable. Trust me, if you push yourself out of your comfort zone, you'll get the job.
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!
Interview questions [1]
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.
