The interview was really short, only a few minutes. I think I did okay and moved on to the next step pretty easily. I'm a bit worried about the tests though, and would really appreciate it if someone could give me some idea about the Aptitude test.

Behavioral Presentation
Got the initial contact through a friend of a friend referral, which seems necessary. Brought in my application and got called in for an interview a few weeks later. The manager asked me some questions and then offered me the job. The role depends heavily on presentation skills, as it's in a high-end boutique, and your personality - you need to be cute and bubbly with customers. Awkwardness is not tolerated and they screen for that. Dress really cute, style your hair and makeup, and come in with a big, confident smile to do well. You'll be surrounded by similar people - cute, perky girls who love clothes and fashion.
