The interview was pretty easy and everyone was nice. We started with me introducing myself and getting a rundown of what a Personal Shopper does. The manager then asked me about my experience with customers, if I could handle a busy workplace, and my availability. We also chatted about working with others and different ways to deal with shopping scenarios. It felt very casual and welcoming.
