I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tillys (Tucson, AZ) in Feb 2015
Interview
I brought my application in on a Monday and was invited to an interview on Friday. There were 8 people. 3 boys and 5 girls. Ages ranging from 16-21. The assistant manager, and the in store visual merchandiser were the ones asking the questions. Very friendly and made me feel really relaxed. Shared a lot of funny stories and were very open. Would always answer the question themselves too. Very important tip is to always show initiative and be one of the firsts to raise your hand. Smile and look confident.
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.
