I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at adidas (Portland, OR) in Mar 2024
Interview
You will be asked a series of questions regarding your experience, knowledge, and overcoming obstacles. Basically, Adidas wants to know: Why should we hire you? What do you know? What can you do for us? Are you a good fit for our store/company? You'll have a relatively informal conversation with two managers. Dress well (in some Adidas apparel) and be presentable/clean cut. Do not wear a competitors clothing or shoes (e.g. nike).
In person interview at store with basic entry level job question. After the interview they will give you a call with an offer. The interview process was very typical for a retail job.
