The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tillys in Jul 2015
Interview
When I turned in my application, the manager asked me a couple questions. I was called for an interview a week after I turned in an application.I came in 10 minutes early before the interview and this lady told me to go walk around and wait a couple minutes. I walked around Tilly's for about 15 minutes and still hear nothing. An employee came up to me and asked if I was looking for anything in particular.. I replied, "I'm actually waiting for the interview." The employee told me she'll let her manager know. A few minutes pass by and still no word. The employee who talked to me and who told me the interview would be in a few minutes walked by over 100 times and said nothing. I have been looking around for an hour and Tilly's isn't really a big place, so I walked to the back and heard the workers say something about me being a minor and needing my parents. At that point I was so frustrated and walked out. They were so unorganized and unprofessional.

Question 1
Why do you think you're capable of working at Tilly's?
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.
