I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret
Interview
I went in store and filled out an application. When I handed it in, the manager gave me a short on-site interview and said she was interested and would call me to schedule an official interview. She called exactly a week later and scheduled an interview for that same week. It was a group interview with myself and one other girl. The manager only asked two questions and was extremely friendly! As a matter of fact, all of the employees I talked to were extremely nice and friendly. They all seemed to love working there and I'm super excited to hear back from them! As for what I wore, it was all black. Black slacks, a cute ruched black top, and my Tory Burch flats. I haven't gotten a call yet as its only been two days, but I'll update when I get the call.
