dressbarn Sales Associate Interview Questions
& Process

So after you submit your application online, a manager will actually reach out to your references to make sure you're a good fit for what they need. Once they've talked to at least two people who can vouch for you, they'll give you a call to set up an interview. The interview itself is actually pretty chill, way more relaxed than you might expect. They'll have you sit in the back room and ask you some questions about your past jobs, and they'll throw some scenarios at you to see how you think. You'll usually have two interviews: one with an assistant manager and then another with the store manager. The store manager is usually the one who will make you an offer.

I first submitted a paper application, but before they accepted it, I was given a personality/skills assessment test to complete at home. After returning both the application and the completed assessment, I waited about ten days. Then, I received a call to come in for an interview with the manager. During the interview, she asked me standard questions like 'tell me about yourself,' 'why do you want to work here,' and 'what would you contribute to the company?' Following the questions, she asked me to select an outfit for her imaginary date, and then I left. The next Monday, I was asked back for another interview with the assistant managers. They primarily discussed the company's programs and asked me to share a bit about myself. The afternoon after that, the manager called to offer me the job, which I accepted.

The manager's scheduling was a mess, so I had to wait a while for the interview. Make sure to dress professionally and fashionably because they will judge your appearance. The first interview was short, with the manager talking mostly about their personal life instead of asking me questions. I then had a second interview with another manager who also spent most of the time talking about themselves.
