When you go in for an interview you are most likely nervous but with my experience it was a welcoming interview and you can ask any questions you have about what your job will be and what it is about. The interviewer will be trying to see what kind of person you are and to see if you will be a good fit for the Company. Just try to breathe and be yourself. Claire's is a unique company and fun to work for, try it out for yourself.

It was a long process with five interviews with two different people. It felt like too many steps for a retail job, especially one that teenagers can get after school or for a summer job.

I was contacted the same day for an interview. I came back the next morning and talked with the manager. She was really upfront about the job and what she expected from people, and she was nice to talk to. The whole thing took about 45 minutes. She really dug into my past work history. Like, what kind of person was my manager? What were the expectations at the store?
