I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vans (Lubbock, TX) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview was super easy. Questions like "Why Van's?", "Why do you think you'd be a good fit here?" etc. Just the basic questions, nothing too tricky. The interview was about 30 minutes and the attire required is super relaxed. Before your interview, go into Vans and see how people dress. That is how you want to dress and match the vibe of the associates, although they will be wearing primarily Vans clothing, yours does not need to be vans, but if you do wear it I could only see that as a plus.
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.
