I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I was called in for an interview and when I arrived there were about 10 other girls waiting as well. The manager took us into the break room. We started off by going around the table and introducing ourselves. After that, the manager would ask a question and, starting with a girl nearest her, would go around the table and have everyone answer. If possible, try to be seated right next to the manager because then you will be the first person to answer most of the questions. While it might be a little nerve-wracking being the first person to answer the question, it is actually much easier because, as more and more girls answer before you, it is harder to come up with an original answer. If you are the first person, your answer will not just seem like you are copying someone else.
