A reference really helps get your foot in the door for an interview. You'll have one group interview where the hiring manager or supervisor and another manager will ask each person a question. Sometimes they might use the same question and whoever answers first gets to present their reply. There's also roleplaying involved, where you'll be given different scenarios and have to come up with solutions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • What would you do if a customer comes in and says they are "only looking"?

I applied online and did a skills test. Then I had a 1:1 with the store manager who asked about my past retail work, where I find style inspiration, and how I'd define my personal style. The interviewer was really nice and checked my references that same day. I got the offer the next day and started training the following week.

I went in person to the local VS and asked the cashier for an application. I filled it out and brought it back and she got the manager for me. The manager asked me why I wanted to work at VS and scheduled me for a group interview. About a week later, there were about 4 of us and she asked us different questions randomly. About a week after that, I was called and offered a sales position.
