My interview at Maurices was great. They communicated clearly and professionally from the start, and I felt welcome when I got to the store. The interviewer was nice and asked good questions about my experience, when I'm available, and how I approach customer service. I liked that the chat was real and not just reading from a script, which let me show my skills and personality easily. Overall, the process was fast, supportive, and made me want to join the team.

It was a very casual process. They asked about my past retail work and my future ambitions. Standard interview questions were asked, followed by questions about specific situations, like how I'd handle an unhappy customer. Since e-commerce was booming then, they wanted to see if I could incorporate it into daily customer service.

I heard from someone else who interviewed around the same time and she also didn't hear back from the manager. The store manager brought me in pretty fast for an interview. It was done in the dressing room area of the store. She used the 'tell me a time...' type of interview method. She said I'd hear back that evening or the next day about training that would start soon. I never heard back. It's also worth noting the pay is really low, around $10/hr for only 5-15 hours a week, which honestly shocked me. My only advice is to actually reach out to people when you say you will. I got no emails or calls or anything.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

About a month after applying, I had a teams video interview with the Recruiter. She knew more about the company than the position. Two days after that interview, I was invited to a teams video interview with the Senior Textile Designer and Director. In that interview, I was asked to complete a small print design project where they ask you to create artwork similar to specific garments online. They gave me a few days to complete the project, then asked for it to be emailed to them.
