I applied through other source. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was interviewed at a PINK store by a stock merchandise manager because the store manager was not there at the moment . The interviewed seemed to go okay at first until she asked me if I had any questions for her . I asked if there was room for growth she said yes so I proceeded to ask her what was her starting position and she told me she didn't want to talk about that . I asked the salary for my position she said she can't share that information with me .... Umm its posted on Victoria secrets website itself but, ok . Never again with them .

Hiring managers prioritize your personality, availability, and customer service mindset, looking for candidates who are friendly, adaptable, reliable, and comfortable engaging with customers, rather than focusing heavily on prior experience or technical skills.
Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
