It was a structured 15-minute group interview where we talked about past experiences and showed how my background, skills, and experience fit what they expect and what the role needs. It was also a quick chance to show my communication skills, teamwork, and how I'd fit in.

Applied online and got a call for an interview in the same week. It was a really straightforward and simple process with just one in-person interview. They asked basic customer service questions.

Behavioral Presentation Other
This was a few years back, but I remember the interview being in two parts. The interview was with me and another lady. They asked the general questions about how we are with kids, our strengths/weakness, any questions in the end. Their questions were fairly average, nothing hard or easy. We do though had to go on the floor and hand out bags on the spot, and tell them about the current promotion to see how we are with the customers. This in particular was pretty nerve-wracking as it wasn't seen anywhere in the interview reviews. So be prepared to just be friendly and easy-going. The second part of the interview was meeting with the store manager, asking one or two more questions (one was how does our room look like, is it clean? haha), asked about salary expectations and what not. Overall not too bad, it wasn't horrible either.
