Interview
Retail experience was something I've always wanted in the past. I figured it would give me the communication skills I'd need for future jobs. I decided to apply to Urban Outfitters and was told to attend a group interview almost a week later. I attended the interview very confident. There were 9 others being interviewed as well.
Once it began, we gathered up in a circle and the interview began asking questions person by person. The questions ranged from normal to odd. I remember one of them was "If you could decorate your room in any way, what would you add to it?". The people who attended seemed incredibly outgoing, which was a little nerve racking. The interview lasted 20 minutes. I never received a call back. The most outgoing person wins.

Interview
The interview is done in a group of about 5-10 people. A manager asks a couple of behavioral questions, and everyone goes around answering. The vibes are pretty chill, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare! It just means you don't have to be nervous.
