It started with them looking at my resume, then we talked about customer service, did some role-playing, and discussed my availability. After that, we walked around the store and I chatted with the manager about the brand.

I had one interview with the regional manager, and they got back to me after a week. The interviews aren't stressful or complicated; you just need to be yourself and sell yourself, and you'll be successful. Then, if you get the job, they'll move forward with the hiring process.

The hiring process was pretty standard and took a normal amount of time. I applied for a general role. No offer was made. The location was easy to get to. The interview was scheduled for the afternoon, which was fine. I received a call, then the interview was scheduled and I attended it. It wasn't too different from other hiring processes I've been through.
