I interviewed at GSP Madewell and they had a whole binder with about 15 questions they read directly from. It felt like it took forever and wasn't really a conversation. They kept asking the same kinds of questions over and over. It wasn't super hard, but it was just way too long and had way too many questions for a part-time job.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- What 3 questions would you ask to understand my personal style?
- How would you create an outfit for me?
- Which stores would you suggest?
