It was a simple customer service type of interview. They asked me questions related to retail and the role. "Tell me about yourself." I was told to keep it brief and relevant to retail and the role. "Describe a time you provided excellent customer service / went above and beyond." "What are your availability / working hours?" I was told to be honest and flexible.

Got a phone call about the job, then an email with the interview date and time. I showed up early and waited on the sofa. The manager came and took me to a room. The interview included questions about the company, why I want to work there, my customer service background, and some key company points like what off-price means and what I'd do in certain situations. Basically, it was about doing basic research on their company and how they're different and stand out.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you explain what off-price means?
- What do you understand by 'treasure' in this context?

The interview took about 30 minutes and the questions were pretty standard. I didn't even get an email about not getting the job. I had to check my account after waiting more than a week to find out. They didn't offer any feedback or call/email to explain why I was rejected, which was really disappointing.
