First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Chico's FAS.
Sales Associate
So I interviewed at this small women's clothing shop with the manager. It was a 1 on 1 chat and she was super nice. We covered the typical retail interview stuff and she also asked about my personal fashion sense. After our talk, she took me into the store and gave me a task to style a customer. I had to pick out three outfits for her. It was a bit unexpected because the job posting didn't say I'd be acting as a stylist, but I guess you're expected to dress the part, like with accessories and everything. The interview itself went pretty well though.
- Can you share a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
- Describe your personal fashion style.
- Tell me about yourself and your interests.
Sales Associate
I went to Chico's and asked about openings. They said to apply online and do a personality test. The next day, I called to check if my application went through. The hiring manager then asked me to come in for an interview in two days and dress "Chico's-like." When I arrived, the assistant manager took me to the back office and asked questions about my past jobs. The interview was pretty relaxed and we joked around. They asked what I'd do if a customer's taste was different from mine and what I could bring to the company.
- How would you handle a customer with different taste than yours?
- What contributions do you think you can make to Chico's?
- Pretend you're a customer going on vacation. I need you to find a complete outfit with accessories and then sell it to me.

I met with the store manager, my references were checked, and I got approval from the district manager. Everyone was really nice and made me feel comfortable.
- Can you tell me about times you had to deliver bad news to someone?
