I applied for the summer merchandising internship with Saks in January of 2019 for the following summer. It started with a phone screen with someone from HR and then one interview with a buyer from Saks Off 5th. I was offered the next position within a week of the second interview.

It was a straightforward interview. They went over my resume and CV. They asked me why I chose to work at HBC and what my expectations were for the role. I was informed about my pay and benefits (which are none). More details about the job were also provided. It was a one-on-one interview, not a group one. The interview was held in a meeting room on the main floor. I had to check in at the main security desk and was given a name tag.

The interview was a great learning experience. Most questions were about my resume, the company, and some general topics. It was a very interesting one-on-one interview.

As a customer service intern at The Bay, how would you handle a situation where a customer is upset because an item they bought at full price last week is now 30% off, and they want a price adjustment or compensation?
