Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Buffalo Exchange.
Cashier
it was pretty straightforward. you start with an interview on the sales floor, with customers around. if that goes well, they bring you to the back to see if you want to take the job.
- Can you describe a positive experience you've had at a previous job?
- Tell me about how you would manage a disagreement.
- How would you deal with a difficult situation?
Cashier
The interview process had three parts. The first interview involved questions about my previous jobs, preferences, and customer service experiences (both good and bad). I also filled out a form with adjectives describing me. They inquired about my personal style, shopping habits, how I stay updated on fashion, and my observations on current versus past fashion trends. Additionally, I was presented with clothing items and asked to evaluate them from a buyer's perspective (pass or buy). The second interview required me to select items from a rack, categorizing them into those likely to sell quickly, slowly, or not at all, and to justify my selections. The third interview was an overview of the role, and after they offered me the job, I was given a manual to read.
- What do you consider recent fashion trends, and what trends from last year are no longer considered stylish?
Cashier
I went into the store and applied in person by filling out a quick form that asked for my previous employers, how I had heard about Buffalo exchange, etc. They called me about 3 days later, and asked me to come in for an in-person interview. I was informed that Buffalo Exchange's hiring process consisted of three in-person interviews. In the first two interviews, I was asked a lot of questions that didn't seem necessary for the job. The third interview was just checking if my availability had changed and a job offer.
- What fashion media sources do you keep up with, like TV shows, blogs, or magazines?
- Can you describe your own fashion style?
- Tell me about a time you experienced great customer service.
