      Seasonal Sales Associate Interview

      Aug 13, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Riverside, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (Riverside, CA) in Aug 2023

      Interview

      I applied through LinkedIn, got a call to set up an interview about a week later, and was hired about 2 weeks after that. I got to the interview about 10 min early and they said I was free to browse while they got ready (take this time to note some of the products and store layout)! It was a group interview with 5 people in total. We met with the general manager and it felt very relaxed. She mostly went over job responsibilities, what a seasonal role entails, and let us ask a lot of questions, so have some ready (can ask about the store cc, hours, team dynamic, etc). She had us go around and say a little about ourselves (where are we from, where did we go to school, are we familiar with the brand, etc). Don't interrupt anyone ofc but if you can engage with the group a bit it can show some of your people skills/how you connect with others. She made it clear that prior brand knowledge/experience isn't required, they train you on all the policies and products. They're mostly looking for flexibility so just be open about your availability. They did also mention the potential to be hired on as a sales associate after the holiday season. Then we did a quick store tour and wrapped everything up within an hour. She said she would be in touch in a few weeks, but I received a call 6 days after the interview. I accepted the offer and was asked to come in in a week to fill out some paperwork, get set up as an employee, and discuss scheduling.

      Interview process was fairly smooth and easy. I immediately knew I'd get the job when the interview went from professional to small talk about their products and my purchases with them in the pass. I would say this interview was one of the more relaxed ones Ive had where I was very comfortable.
