I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Urban Outfitters (Camden Town, England) in May 2024
Interview
Was invited to an interview, at Camden, London
I showed up and there were atleast 30 other candidates which was a surprise as I wasn't told it would be a group interview prior and from speaking to others there, neither were they.
From the moment we entered the store the staff managing the interview was rude to us and constantly complained about how many of us showed up. They didn't take us into a room so we did the interview on the shop floor, going round in a massive circle and no one could be heard.
The staff didn't listen to anything anyone was saying, he rushed answers and kept apologising for rushing as "we were so pushed for time" which was a lie because he finished and kicked us out of the store while the other group were still going, it was clear he just wanted to finish early and get home.
I wasn't surprised when I wasn't offered a position as my answers weren't even getting listened to. I asked for feedback from the interview and got no response

I applied online. I interviewed at Urban Outfitters (Pasadena, CA)
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.
