      Sales Associate Interview

      May 3, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vans

      Interview

      I applied online and got a call back like 10 days later on a Monday for an interview till the following Tuesday. We had a group interview of 7 people including the store manager and assistant manager. We started off with icebreaker questions to get comfortable. Then she went with real life situation examples and what you'd do. At the end we were given an availability form to fill out then give right back. I got the offer the next day! Ultimately, I just think they want you to be yourself so they can have an idea of who they can be potentially hiring!
