I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vans (Palmdale, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied online and followed up with a resume in store. They called me about five minutes later and asked if I could come back for an on the spot interview. It was with two managers and they were very nice, however I was not offered the job. I was extremely disappointed because I personally love to ask what I can do better whenever the interviewers ask for any questions, and they told me I was doing great and had no complaints.
Group interview with atleast 10 others. Maybe about 30 minutes. Best to tell stories of customer experience for answers to better highlight self. It was about 10 questions long with two store managers.
