First I had a phone call where they asked me about my availability, where I'm located, and if I was looking for full-time or part-time work. Then I had an in-person interview. They asked me some simple scenario questions about how I handled conflict and how I would sell things.

At Sunglass Hut, interviews are usually lively and focus on how well you can sell, your sense of style, and if you can build good customer relationships. You'll likely do some role-playing, answer questions about working with others, and they really care about making sure customers have a great time shopping with them.

Behavioral Presentation

It wasn't a very long interview, only about 30 minutes. I met with the manager one-on-one and she asked me some basic questions. Then we did a role play in the store a couple of times to see how I'd handle customers. I felt good about it then, but it took about 1.5 to 2 weeks to hear back that I got the job. It was a few years ago so it might be different now, but the hiring process was simple for me.
