First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Soma Intimates.
Sales Representative
The interview was smooth with only a few questions that weren't too hard. They asked about my previous experience and how I'd handle certain situations. It was a smooth process, and the manager at the time was very nice. She could tell I was shy but made me feel comfortable.
- How would you handle an angry customer?
- Describe your previous experience and how you would manage specific scenarios.
Sales Lead
The hiring manager of the specific store you're applying to will first email you an invitation for an online assessment. Once you complete the assessment, your score goes into a company-wide database accessible to management across all brands. If you pass the online test, you'll proceed to an interview with the store manager, typically lasting 30-45 minutes. They're usually looking for high energy and enthusiasm, so highlight your passion for customers, as Soma is known for its customer service. If you're applying for a Sales Associate role, you might have an additional interview with the assistant manager. For a Sales Lead or ASM position, your next interview will be with the DSM. If the DSM isn't available, another store manager might conduct a brief initial interview. DSMs tend to keep interviews brief. After the interviews, expect a call within one to two weeks from the store manager with a job offer, including pay details. If you accept, you'll then go to the store to complete paperwork and begin training.
- Given Soma's focus on customer service, how would you handle situations with unhappy customers?
- What makes you the best candidate for this role compared to others?
Sales Lead
I was reached out to about a role at a new store. The interview was really laid-back. They asked a lot of questions about specific situations, like "tell me about a time when...", and also did a sales role-play. Later, I had a phone chat with the District Manager where we discussed my approach to managing people.
- Could you try to sell me this pen?
- Describe a time when you handled a difficult sales situation.
- Tell me about your management style.
